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

MUSHROOM CORIANDER GRAVY

            Ingredients:

• 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.
