Nutty Mutter Mushroom

I am not much fan of Mushrooms.... But,it does have lots of health benefits... Studies shows it helps prevent the chronic disease, due to the presence of antioxidants...

I have tried lots of preparations of Mushroom.. Though it is loved by my family, the preparations somehow does not appeal me... And then I started avoiding getting Mushrooms from the store.



Last weekend, I went to the nearest Chinese grocery store... I love this store, as it always has fresh vegetables, any time of the day or any time of the week you check there... So, when I saw this box of Mushroom over there, couldn't resist and brought it home... Now, was confused what to make from these mushrooms... I thought, if nothing appeals me, then I will use it in a Veg Biryani.. Then, an idea stuck me, of making it with nuts...

I am glad, I made it, as I loved it... And it was so delicious, that all the curry was finished in 1 meal...
Happy me....


So, here is the recipe for Nutty Mutter Mushroom, for you to try.

Ingredients you will need-

  1. Onion - 1/2 (medium size)
  2. Garlic - 2 cloves
  3. Ginger - 1 tbsp(grated)
  4. Tomato - 1
  5. Peanuts - 1 handful
  6. Mushroom - 10-12 (thinly sliced)
  7. Peas - 1 handful
  8. Salt to taste
  9. Cooking Oil - 2 tbsp
  10. Turmeric Powder - 1/2 tsp
  11. Red Chilli Powder according to taste ( I added 1 tsp, as I wanted my curry to be more spicy)
  12. Kitchen King Masala - 1/2 tsp
Directions to follow - 
  • Chop onion and garlic,and grind them together.
  • In a microwave safe plate, microwave peanuts for 2 minutes, at an interval of 1 minute.
  • In a pan, heat oil and add the onion paste, saute for a while till the raw smell goes away.
  • Add Ginger to the paste, but chopped tomato, add 2 tbsp of water, saute, cover and cook for couple of minutes.
  • Add all the masalas (spices), sliced Mushroom and add 1/2 cup of water,reduce the flame to medium, cover and cook till oil separates.
  • Meanwhile, grind Peanuts in the same jar (which was earlier used for onions), without water and make it coarse powder... Then, add 2 tbsp of water and grind again to make a thick paste.
  • Now, add peas, peanut paste, and 1 glass full of water... Increase the flame, and let the mixture come to a boil..
  • Then, reduce the flame to low and let it get cooked, covered for another 15-20 minutes, or till the mushroom is cooked.
  • I kept the gravy little on thicker side as I was going to have it with Chapati (Wheat Tortilla)... If you want to have it with rice, you can make the gravy lighter by adding boiled water in it and little bit of salt....

Enjoy your delicious Nutty Mutter(Peas) Mushroom hot...

Baked Peas Kachori #Breadbakers

I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was

Cooking is an art... And presenting your food is another art... Well, I believe if food in front of you doesn't look appetizing to you, then you are not going to enjoy the food... So,most of the time, I try to present the meal beautifully, which attracts the family itself to the dinner table... Every month, I bake with Bread Bakers... Every time, I try to come out of my comfort zone, and try to bake something which is new to me... This month's theme is Yeast Flat breads... Being Indian, I always make Flat Breads, as it is our staple food..... So, I decided to bake something about which I have never heard off... And google landed me to this Italian Flat bread " Focaccia". It is the best bread I ever had... So, full of flavors, and delicious... I got this recipe from All Recipes .com .... But, altered it according to my taste... #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme.
