Today's recipe is a real fusion dish. Admittedly, we make a lot of stuffed vegetables in Indian cuisine. The most popular are eggplant, peppers, okra and karela, which does not have a Norwegian name. In English it is called bitter melon with a very special taste. I served it for the first time to a Norwegian on a live broadcast on TV Norway, there were some grimaces, you can imagine. Since then, I have not made these for Norwegians, but it was squash we were supposed to make, yes..
We can stuff vegetables with spice mix, fried onions or paneer , I have chosen minced meat today. Any kind of minced meat can be used, I have used lamb minced meat.
