THUNDER MUSHROOM MASALA !!!!


Originally this is Paneer Masala recipe from SAISCOOKBOOK. But as this is season of thunder mushrooms, i used them in my recipe instead of paneer. And it tasted just too good.

Ingredients:

Thunder mushrooms- 1 cup (you can use 200gm paneer also )
Onion-4,chopped
Coriander seeds-2 tsp
Shahijeera-1/2 tsp
Khus khus- 3tsp
Cardamom-2
Cloves-2
Cinnamon- 1/2 "
Pepper-3-4
Coconut-grated,1 tbsp
Coriander leaves-1 bunch
Milk-1/2 cup
Cashew nuts-1/2 cup
Tomato-3,medium sized
Oil/ghee-1 tbsp
Long red chilly-5-6
Butter-1 tbsp

Method:

  1. Parboil thunder mushrooms and keep it aside.
  2. Heat a tsp of oil and roast coriander seeds,coriander leaves,red chilly,2 chopped onions and grated coconut for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Grind the roasted ingredients with Shahijeera,cashew nuts,cloves,cinnamon,pepper and khus khus to a very fine paste.
  4. Grind tomatoes to a puree separately.
  5. Heat oil/ghee and saute 2 chopped onions until translucent.
  6. Add tomato puree and the masala and saute until the raw smell goes.
  7. Add water as much as needed to adjust the consistency,salt to taste and take a boil.
  8. Lastly add milk, parboiled thunder mushrooms and cook further.
  9. Keep the gravy little thick.
  10. Serve it hot with roti or naan.

HAPPY COOKING :))))))

and here's an tip:-

When you feel gravy is too salty, add few pieces of cooked potatoes to it and bring it to a boil and keep it for some time.
