Malai Mushroom


Mushroom is famous for its medicinal values. Its an excellent source of potassium and many other vitamins. This is a rich and creamy preparation of mushroom which will go well with chapathi and paratta.

Ingredients:

200 gm mushroom
1 onion chopped
1 1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/4 cup cashew nut paste
2 tbsp oil
salt to taste

Powders:

1 pinch turmeric powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1/2 tsp garam masala


Method:

1.Saute onion in 1 tbsp oil till onion turns light brown. Grind this cooked onion to a smooth paste and keep aside.
2.Heat oil in a pan and add ginger garlic paste and saute well.
3.Add the powders and saute till the raw smell is gone.
4.Throw in the mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes.
5.Add the onion paste and cashew paste.
6.Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.

Note: If the gravy is too thick add milk to loosen it. Using butter instead of oil and adding some cream before serving will make the curry more rich and tasty.
