Bitter Melon or Karela known for its bitter taste and for its ability to fight diabetes. Normally I remove the seeds and use this vegetable in juicing, getting all the nutrients. Using it in a bread recipe was a delicious move. You could also fry the bread and make puri’s and serve with dal. I served it with cauliflower and sambar.

3 Karela skins shredded and soaked in salt for about 15 mins

1 cup Bajri flour

1 cup Jowhar flour

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1 tbsp sooji (semolina)

1tpsp ground flaxmeal ( optional)

2 tbsp besan flour

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp ginger powder

1 tsp cayenne powder ( reduce if needed)

Make the dough with all the ingredients in warm water and a pinch of salt.

Since this is pretty low in gluten, it make be hard to roll out. You can put the dough balls between plastic wrap to help if needed.
