  3. Wash them 2-3 times with fresh water and squeeze well.
  4. Heat the oil in a kadai and fry the onions at medium temperature till they are golden brown and crisp.
  5. Remove and keep in a soup strainer to drain the oil or keep on a grease-proof paper.
  6. In the same oil, add the karelas and fry at medium temperature till they become evenly brown.
  7. Add about half a tsp. of salt, coriander powder, chilli powder, sugar and lemon juice and add 2 tbsp. of water to soften the karelas (if crisp karelas are required, do not add water).
