The author once hated mushrooms.
Gasp!
I know.
[And probably not the best way to begin this post.]
But, once it was true. She ran away from the moment, the woodsy smell entered the house and came up with creative ways to pass the serving to her sibling's plate. Then, of course, she grew up. And things once hated found an affectionate place in her larder. Mushrooms made once such entry. She began small, tried the popular button mushrooms and since then she hasn't looked back. And now, one single line has become a flow-chart of tried and tested recipes, cooking experiments and wishlists.
Mushroom Masala is one of her favorite recipes. It is easy to make and spicy - the kind that dances on the tip of your tongue. And it uses button mushrooms. Believe me, there is very little to not recommend about this particular dish. So, put on your favored dancing music and let the games begin.
Ingredients:
1 packet button mushrooms
2 medium onions sliced
2 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp red chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp yoghurt
1 tbsp garam masala
salt to taste
oil for frying
chopped coriander leaves for garnish
Method:
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the mushrooms in batches.
Remove excess oil. Fry onions till brown. Add ginger-garlic paste. Cook for five minutes
Add the red chili, turmeric, coriander and cumin powder. Cook for two minutes.
Add yoghurt, water and salt and simmer for fifteen minutes till the sauce thickens and the raw smell of spice leaves the curry.
Fold in the mushrooms and garam masala. Simmer for five more minutes.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
