Cut off the two tips of the Cara (bitter melon) and remove the inside seeds and guts using a spoon.

Grate the onion and garlic, and wash the caras.

Mix the grated onion, garlic, and pepper with curry powder, garam masala, and roasted ground jeera to create a curry paste.

Heat the caras in a pan to burn out the water, adding salt as needed.

Grind the shrimp until fine, almost like a paste.

Add 2 tbsp of vegetable oil to the pan and add half of the curry paste to the shrimp, cooking for about 3 minutes.

Stuff the caras with the cooked shrimp mixture.

Lightly fry the stuffed caras in heated oil until browned on the outside.

In a pot, add the remaining curry paste, coconut milk, and a teaspoon of salt, and cook the stuffed caras for about 20 minutes until soft.
