Mushroom Masala

Mushroom Masala is one of our favorite dish. I heard people saying mushroom masala has some meat flavor. Though we dont take meat, we lean towards Mushroom and we like any dish that has mushroom in it. This is one of the good recipe which makes the rotis and chappathi even more tasteful by adding spicyness to it

Method :
We got this recipe from Bawarchi which is our preferred site. Lets start preparing the masala now. This is the simple recipe which can be prepared in 30 mts

1. Cut mushroom and soak in lime water
2. Grind 1/2 of the cut onion, tomatoes, pepper powder, coriander powder, garlic, red chillies into a fine paste
3. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard, cumin seeds.
4. Add the chopped onion and saute the mixture for few mts.
5. Add salt and turmeric powder and wait till the onion turns brown
6. Add mushroom to the mixture and saute for 2-3 mts
7. Mix the grinded paste and stir it well
8. Add a pinch of asafoetida(this is optional). We always like to add this in all dish since it would help in digestion
9. Add 1/2 cup of water and heat the mixture in medium flame till the water drains down(approx 15 mts)
10. Add green chillies and garnish the mixture with coriander leaves.
