Spicy Mushroom Curry

Every time I get Mushroom, I want to try some different recipe out of it.  I had tried out few recipes with mushroom - mushroom briyani, mushroom kurma, mushroom pepper fry. This time wanted to give it a different flavor. It really came out very well and tasted yummy. If you are not a mushroom lover, try this recipe with Potato or cauliflower and it would be good choice too.

Preparation Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

1. Mushroom - 500 gms

2. Onions - 2 medium

3. Tomatoes - 3 medium

4. Ginger/garlic paste - 1 tablespoon

5. Red Chilly powder - 1 tablespoon

6. Coriander powder - 2 tablespoon

7. Curd - 4 tablespoon

8. Salt - to taste

9. Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon

10. Cumin seeds - 1/2 tablespoon

11. Curry leaves - 7 to 8

12. Oil - 3 tablespoon

Preparation:

1. Wash the mushrooms and marinate with ginger/garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chilly powder, coriander powder, curd and salt for 15 minutes.

2. Chop onions and tomatoes into fine pieces.

3. Heat oil in a pan and when hot, add cumin seeds and curry leaves.

4. Add chopped onions and cook until it turns transparent.

5. Then add the tomatoes and cook well by smashing it.

6. When the tomatoes are almost cooked, add the marinated mushroom and mix it well. 

7. Do not add water, as mushrooms will leave some water as it cooks. Also since we have used curd for marination, the mushrooms would cook in that liquid.

8. Close the pan with a lid and cook for next 15 minutes by continuous stirring.

9. When the mushroom is completely cooked and the tomato and onion paste is blended well, add the Garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes.

10. Garnish with coriander leaves and our spicy mushroom curry is ready to serve.

You can serve this with rice/rotis/idly/dosas.
