Wash the karela and slightly peel off them. Make a long slit on each karela vertically.

Take out the seeds and other things from inside through the slits you made. As it's boiled now, it'll be easy to remove. Keep the seeds.
In a pan, take 3tablespoon of mustard oil and add 1/2 tsp of fennel seeds to it. As it crackles, add chopped onions and tomatoes to it.
Add the karela seeds you kept and all the spices to this mixture and fry it on medium flame for few minutes.
Cool this mixture and stuff it into each karela.
Stir fry these stuffed karelas in mustard oil untill golden brown. Seal the stuffed karela before frying using toothpicks to prevent it from opening.
