Sift plain flour and add ghee, salt, carom seeds and black pepper. Add water and knead firm dough. Cover and keep dough aside for 20 minutes to set.
Make lemon sized balls from the dough. Roll into thin puris (rounds) 5”-6” in diameter. Use a knife to make cuts in puris as shown in the picture. Lift from two sides and roll (fold). Make all Karelas in the same way.
Heat oil in a karahi (wok). Deep fry all Karelas in hot oil till they turn brown. Keep the bitter-gourds on a plate on paper napkins to allow the oil to drain.. They are ready for chaat.
Drain the water out of the curd using a fine cloth and beat well.
Place 2 Karelas in a plate. Add curd, red chutney, green chutney and mashed potato on top. Add some more curd, black salt, sev, roasted cumin seeds, and red chili powder. Garnish with green coriander and pomegranate. The lip smacking Karela chaat is ready.
