Mushroom Coriander Gravy
As I mentioned
before, I am a chef at home so I tried a different combination of curry as a
side dish for chapatti which is Mushroom Coriander Gravy. Usually I try
different combinations with Mushroom since my partner likes it most and it is
one of the ingredients which are frequently used in our home. Here we go with
the recipe
Ingredients:
MUSHROOM CORIANDER GRAVY |
- Mushroom-200 Gms
- Coriander leaves-One bunch
- Onion-2
- Tomato-Medium sized 2 or Large 1
- Garlic-2 or 3 cloves
- Ginger-a small pinch
- Green Chilli-2 no’s
- Sombu- little
- Kirambu- 2 pieces
- Pattai- little
- Cardamom-1
- Salt to taste
- Chilly powder
- Oil for frying
How to make:
- Grind onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, Sombu, Pattai, Kirambu, cardamom and green chillies. Keep it aside.
- Cut the coriander bunch and fry it in a tawa. Cool it and make it as a paste.
- Pour oil in a tawa and fry the onion paste. When oil separates add salt and chilly powder.
- Once the oil separates as well as the dry smell goes, add the coriander paste to the gravy.
- Chop the mushrooms and add to the gravy once the dry smell goes from the gravy after the addition of coriander paste.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes in high flame. Do not add water since mushroom tends to leave water once cooked.
- After 10-15 minutes, cook in medium flame for 5 minutes. Adjust salt and spicy according to your taste.
- Switch of the flame and serve hot with rotis or chapattis. It also goes very well with rice.
Note:
- Instead of coriander we can substitute with palak.
- Instead of mushrooms, we go with chole, rajama.

3 Hours 56 Minutes
Everyone whoever reads this article will be
wondering why I kept the title as 3 Hours 56 Minutes, this is nothing but the
match time which lasted between Mr. Roger Federer and Mr.Novak Djokovic in
finals of Wimbledon 2014.
Many people around the
globe knows what is Wimbledon but still there are few people who doesn’t know
what is Wimbledon all about. To those who don’t know what Wimbledon is all
about, here is two lines description of it. Wimbledon is nothing but the lawn
tennis played and held in All England Club in London since 1877. It is one of
the Grand slams tennis tournaments. Grand Slam also called majors, are the four
tennis events happens every year. Winning this major is considered as
prestigious moment/award in tennis world.
I hope whoever reads this will
know a little about what is Wimbledon and grand slam is all about and I also
hope that all came to know about what I am going to talk today. Yes, it is
about the finals of the Wimbledon which happened on July 6, 2014. Federer has
17 grand slam titles in his kitty, dreaming for the 18th grand slam
title whereas on the other hand Djokovic dreaming of maintaining his 1st
position as well as 2nd Wimbledon title after a downfall in the previous year.
This fight has become a treat for the tennis watchers around the world.
The
noon started with Djokovic winning the toss and serving for the first set. The
first set went as a tough fight between two of them. Each one 6 break points
and finally went for a tie break. During the tie break, Roger won the first
set. The second set was won by Djokovic
after the loss of first set. Now both are equal having won one set. Third set
become a fight again, at the end of fight it is Djokovic who won the fight. Federer was my personal favorite, I lost all
my hopes when third set went to Novak, I had only slight hopes when fourth set
started. I was praying to almighty that Roger has to win the title. Fourth set
was a thriller movie for me, it is must win set for Federer whereas for
Djokovic if he wins then the trophy for him. After passing a few minutes a big tragedy came
even to my slight hope which I had beginning of fourth set, yes, it is
championship point for Novak Djokovic. That was the time I saw a man who showed
all talents which was hiding in his mind and body. God showed blessings for my
prayers, Federer won the set. What a thriller it was, my heart was pounding
fast for each and every single point won by Federer. That set could not be
explained in words should be experienced for compulsory. I saw the Federer who
I saw some years back. That proved me he is not in part of retirement yet and
also even if he loses the title that won’t hurt me a lot as a fan since he gave
a tough fight for the day. Three cheers
for that tough task master who is a real player.
At last there came final set of the
day. One part of the crowd says Roger and another says Novak. Silly mistakes
from the real player made Novak won the second Wimbledon title. That doesn’t
means Novak was not a player. Djokovic
deserves this title, he played well and made real player do silly mistakes.
During the toss not only him but nobody knows that he has not only won the toss
but also going to win the title. Djokovic thanked Federer for paying way for
him to win whereas Federer congratulated him. The match between these two real
players/competitors not only become treat for the fans but also become an epic
in grand slam Wimbledon history. Love you guys for a fabulous finals.
An opinion differs from
person to person. The above subjected is my personal opinion and not for
hurting others. Hope you guys enjoyed this article. Catch you soon with another
interesting article
