Kadai Mushroom

Ingredients:

1 lb Button Mushroom (Cut into bite sized pieces)
1 medium onion (chopped finely)
1 small onion(cubed)
2 tomatoes (chopped finely)
3 pods of garlic
1/2 inch piece of ginger
1.5 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp garam masala
1 cup water
2 tbsp oil
2 sprig spring onion (chopped)
Salt to taste

Take the ginger and garlic and smash it finely in a mortar and pestle.

Heat 2 tbsp oil in a Kadai and add cubed onion, mushroom, fry for a minute or two until the mushroom shrinks in size. Remove from the oil and keep aside.

In the same oil, add the finely chopped onion and fry until the onion is translucent and light brown. Add smashed ginger/garlic and fry for a minute.

Add the chopped tomatoes, red chilli powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala and salt to taste. Cook until the tomato is well cooked.  Add 1 cup of water and cook for a few minutes.

Add the fried mushroom, cubed onion in this gravy. Check for salt and spices and add more if required. Remove from heat once done. Garnish with spring onion or cilantro and serve hot. I served it with Broccolini  Pulao.

Kadai Mushroom gets its name from the cooking vessel - Kadai which is similar to a wok.
