Karela ki sabzi for roti | Bitter gourd vegetable recipe

I had been to Delhi with my father for enquiring about my project work when I was completing ,my Masters in Computer Applications around 2003. It is one of my memorable trips with my father where I travelled parts of Delhi and Agra ,visited Taj Mahal. The hotel where we stayed in Pahar Gunj had this unique karela ki sabzi which I never had before . As Bengalis we are used to consume thinly sliced bitter gourd smeared in turmeric and salt and deep fried to be served with rice. This sabzi was with onions and served with parathas. I asked the hotel person who used to deliver the food at the room and got a rough recipe. After several trials and tries the dish now comes out to be quite delicious .The dish is spicy and the bitterness is camouflaged with the sweetness of onions.
