Mushroom Gravy

It was one of those nights where i was little interested in having takeaway. Had mushrooms in the fridge and thought of making a gravy as a side for bread.

Ingredients

Mushroom one pack (diced)

Onions 3 nos

Tomatoes 2 nos

Green Chillies 3-4 nos

Ginger Paste 1/2 tsp

Garlic Paste 1 tsp

Turmeric 1/4 tsp

Coriander powder 1/2 tsp

Jeera powder 1/4 tsp

Red Chilli Powder 1 tsp

Garam Masala 1/2 tsp

Curd 11/2 tbsp

Water 1 1/2 cup

Oil 1 tbsp

1/2 Lemon Juice

Salt to taste

Making the Gravy

Dice the mushroom into thick cubes and put it in boiling water for 2-3 mins to remove any dirt. If you are using fresh and clean ones just dice them and saute them in olive oil for about 2 mins and keep aside.

Take 2 onions, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies and grind them into a paste. Similarly grind the tomatoes and keep them aside.

Heat oil in a pan, add 1/4 garam masala, add to this the remaining onion (chopped).  Saute until they turn translucent and now add the ground onion paste and cook further. Add turmeric, chilli powder, coriander powder, jeera powder and cook till the raw smell goes away. Now add the mushroom to it and add 1/2 cup of water. Cook for about 2 mins, now add ground tomatoes and mix well cooking for further 2 mins. Add 1/4 garam masala and simmer, add salt. When the oil separates add whisked curd into it and add water for a thin gravy. let it simmer for another 5 mins, if it tastes bitter add lemon juice after taking the curry from the stove.
