Traditional Fry Carilie (bitter melon)

Learn how to make Traditional fried Carilie (Bitter Melon) in this episode of #MeatFreeMondays with Chris De La Rosa of CaribbeanPot.com This classic (requested) dish using carili (aka bitter melon) is one of those dishes you either love or hate, due to it's sort of bitter aftertaste. However if you use the salt method as I showed, you will remove some of the bitterness.
For this #glutenfree #vegan #curry dish you'll need
3 carilie
3 large cloves garlic
1 1/2 tablespoon salt (for removing the bitterness)
1/4 teaspoon salt for cooking (if needed)
2 pimentio pepper
4 wiri wiri
1 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
2 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin (roasted)
3/4 teaspoon roasted cumin (geera)
3/4 teaspoon amchar masalla
1 medium onion

[@siddikamustafa773]

In Bangladesh we cook similarly. Just use green chilli, onion,garlic and a touch of tumeric powder.

[@naty1012]

I just cook mine like fry ochro, no curry or geera

[@marlonaustin5815]

Hey Chris. Can you provide a recipe to prepare caralie without oil?

[@Karnaxa]

I love this but I prefer it with salt fish. As always wonderful vid Chris.

[@caribbeanpot]

not vegan at that point (smile)

[@user-sy9ks7ol8g]

😋

[@terryramsingh472]

Like that knife.... Damascus steel

[@indowolf]

The liquid that you wasted in the sink is good medicine. If you can stomach to drink that liquid with little salt will do wonders for your body.

[@HemstreetFl]

Hi Chris, what type of curry?

[@badburial1097]

You get those at nations grocery store downtown hammer

[@tomoe7255]

@@caribbeanpot Yeah,it does tasty really good if you throw some salt and lime in there,and not try to bite like you would a carrot hahaha. But I really like your recipes, specially the vegan ones :)

[@naty1012]

Can you show how to cook carillie together with ochro?

[@caribbeanpot]

soon

[@cherylwin9364]

THIS MAY GO WELL MIXED WITH CALLALOO AND COD FISH

[@SudsNSkinNaturals]

Instead of salt, why not use vinegar

[@gigispencer2136]

Are there different curry powders from different regions? I have never seen cumin that dark and I’ve never seen or heard of the masala powder you used. I try to visit ethnic stores but I’ll keep looking. Thank you! I need to incorporate bitter melon to lower my A1C

[@yammi_bulah]

That is roasted cumin (roasted geera). You can find that as well as amchar masala and curry powder in a west indian grocery store. Also your location plays heavily in having access to these products!

[@gigispencer2136]

Yammi Bulah Thank you! I guess I’m going to have to drive into Los Angeles to find these things. I live inland in Southern California and I’ve never seen them at the ethnic stores I’ve visited and definitely not big box stores.

[@caribbeanpot]

you make your own geera (roasted cumin). Get the seeds and put in a dry pan on a low heat. it will go dark. then ground.

[@joan9160]

@@yammi_bulah You can also buy them on Amazon.com.

[@joan9160]

Look for roasted geera powder and amchar masala on Amazon.com and Etsy.com.
