Quote:Get the best out of karela
The best way to have it is to consume as a juice, with its seeds on an empty stomach.
Cut the karela with the skin and the seeds, soak in water with salt and haldi or turmeric for 15 minutes. This will  help reduce the bitter taste. Now take out the pieces from the water and grind it with the water and a few drops of lemon. Sieve out the fibrous part and drink on an empty stomach, preferably first thing in the morning. Karela juice also has various health benefits and drinking it daily is ideal not only for diabetics but also everyone. For a change of taste and an added boost to your immune system try adding half a piece of amla or Indian gooseberry to the juice for the sour taste. Amla is the best source of vitamin C and  including it in your diet regularly has various health benefits.
