Method:
- Clean mushroom as shown in the link, slice it and keep aside.Heat oil, add jeera allow it to crackle then add red chillies and fry for a minute.Add onions, ginger garlic paste and saute till onions turn slightly browned.
- Next add the capsicum, saute well retaining its crunchiness.Then add the tomato puree and fry for 3-4 mins till raw smell leaves.Then add the chilli, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder ,garam masala powder and required salt - mix well and fry for few mins.
- Add little water if its very thick.Add the mushroom and mix gently until well combined.
- Simmer for 3 mins and keep closed so that the mushroom gets cooked, becomes soft and nicely blended with the gravy. Once the mushroom gets soft,Simmer for 2 mins then add kasoori methi, coriander leaves and switch it off.
This gravy is close to the kadai paneer recipe and goes well with chapathis or even plain rice and dhal.I confidently wanted to try after trying out kadai paneer and it didnt disappoint us.This is the first time I am trying kadai mushroom masala, I didnt refer to any specific recipe but googled here and there and made up my mind to go with a recipe which is close to the kadai paneer recipe I posted earlier :)
My Notes:
- ou can even grind redchillies with tomato and coriander seeds and then add as I did for kadai paneer, gives a fresh flavour.
- This is medium spicy with the measurement I have given. You can adjust according to your taste buds.
