There are two main ways to cook Punjabi Karela: a spicy stir-fry or a stuffed version. Here's a quick rundown of both:

*Spicy Punjabi Karela Sabzi*

This is a simple and flavorful dish with a good kick. Here's what you'll need:

* Bitter gourd (karela)
* Onions
* Mustard oil
* Panch phoran (a mix of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, nigella seeds, mustard seeds, and fenugreek seeds)
* Turmeric powder
* Coriander powder
* Chilli powder
* Amchoor powder (dry mango powder)
* Salt

*How to make it:*

1. Prepare the karela by washing, drying, and cutting it into thin slices. You can also scrape out the inner flesh and seeds if you find the bitterness too strong.
2. Heat mustard oil in a pan and add the panch phoran. Once fragrant, fry the karela slices until golden brown.
3. Add onions and saute until softened and translucent.
4. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, chili powder, and amchoor powder. Season with salt to taste.
5. Cook for a few more minutes until the spices are well combined and fragrant.
6. Serve hot with roti or rice.

*Punjabi Stuffed Karela*

This is a more elaborate version where the bitter gourd is stuffed with a flavorful masala. Here's what you'll need:

* Bitter gourd (karela)
* Onion
* Ginger
* Garlic
* Green chilies
* Coriander powder
* Turmeric powder
* Cumin seeds
* Fennel seeds
* Amchoor powder
* Mustard oil
* Salt

*How to make it:*

1. Prepare the karela by washing and drying them. Cut them lengthwise and scoop out the inner flesh and seeds.
2. Make the stuffing by sauteing onions, ginger, garlic, and green chilies in mustard oil. Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and amchoor powder. Season with salt to taste.
3. Stuff the karela cavities with the prepared masala.
4. Secure the stuffing with toothpicks if needed.
5. Shallow fry the stuffed karela in mustard oil until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve hot with roti or rice.
