Now add the onions to the pan and again fry to a golden brown, then add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, coriander, red chilli powder, cumin powder and salt to the same oil and sauté for a few minutes before adding the tomato. 6. Now add the chopped tomatoes and a little water. Cook covered until tomatoes are just about done. 7. Then add mince, fry and cook with some water until done. Then add green chillies, tamarind pulp, fresh coriander and garam masala powder and mix well. 8. Now stuff the bitter-gourds with this stuffing. Tie each bitter-gourd with thread properly. 9. Now arrange stuffed bitter gourd in remaining mince and add ¼ cup of water and cook on very low heat for 5 minutes. 10. Serve with chopped fresh coriander. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
