Ingredients
Mushrooms 2 cups cubed to bite size pieces.
Onion 1 big chopped fine
Chilli powder 1 tsp
Garam masala powder to taste
Pepper powder 1/4 tsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Coconut milk powder 1/2 tsp ( this helps to balance the sharp taste of the masalas)
Cilantro to garnish
Oil 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Method
- Boil 2 cups of water with some salt. Once boiling, drop the mushrooms in them. Switch off heat and keep covered for 10-15 mins. By this, the mushrooms get cooked and release the water content. After some 20 mins of mushrooms soaking, drain them and keep. You can use the left over water for soup/broth or whatever.
- In a pan heat oil. Add the onions and saute them till soft. Once the onions are done, add the mushrooms and give a good mix.
- Add all the masalas(Chilli powder, garam masala, pepper powder, turmeric powder). Add salt to taste. Sprinkle some water and stir well till the mushrooms are caramerlised.
- Add a bit of coconut milk powder if you find the dish too sharp to taste. Mix well.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro.
Serve hot with chapiti and some simple dal.
