Mix the spices and onion. Prepare small portions of the mixture same as the number of the gourds.

Cut the karelas in the center and fill the stuffing inside. Roast on pan with small quantity of oil. Cover and cook. Check to avoid scalding by changing the sides of the karela for even cooking on all sides.
