Mushroom Curry

After ages, am making a mushroom dish. But hey, better late than never, eh? ;) So here's mushroom curry, Oriya style!!

You'll need:

- 500 gm mushrooms (not tinned or canned - see if you can get garden fresh ones or at least the ones that come in a packet)
- 150 gm onions
- 100 gm tomatoes (cut in julienne)
- 100 gm shallots (chota pyaaz)
- 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1.5 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp coriander leaves
- 3 tbsp cooking oil
- Salt to taste

1. First of, wash the mushrooms with a little flour & vinegar. Then quarter them & keep aside. Followed by, quartering the shallots & slicing the onions.

2. Now, heat the oil in a kadhai & add the cumin seeds. Once they start crackling, add the ginger-garlic paste, shallots & onions.

3. Once they turn soft, add the red chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder & salt. Stir fry for a mew min & then add the mushrooms. Mix well :D

4. After the mushrooms are cooked, add the tomatoes, coriander leaves & lemon juice. Mix gently & simmer for 4 min.

MC done! Serve piping hot with roti, paratha, naan & love :)
