Mushroom Masala

This dish happened one lazy afternoon when I went for a nice signature massage at Latitudes Spa, where we get a sexy Googler discount, and casually picked up a packet of button mushrooms at Food World.



Since shelf life of mushrooms is just about a day, I had to quickly act on it the next day. The quickest way to cook mushrooms has got to be this. It was just yummy with some warm toasted bread.

What I Used:

Button mushrooms - 1 cup
Onions - 2 medium
Tomato - 1
Jeera powder - 1 tsp
Chicken masala - 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1/2 tsp
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Fresh coriander - for garnishing



How I Made It:

1. Heat oil in a kadai and roast the onions till golden brown.

2. Add the ginger garlic paste and the jeera, chicken masala, pepper masalas and fry well for 3-4 mins.

3. Chop the tomatoes and add it to the fried masala mix.

4. Finally, chop and clean the mushrooms. Add it to the above mixture, cook closed for 5 mins and remove from fire.



Serve hot with some lightly toasted bread.
