Mushrooms in Spinach sauce

Mushrooms.. !!! Something I really like to experiment with, and every experiment turns a big success.. it is packed with lot of potassium, dietary fiber, Vitamin B12 and magnesium.. but above all these a great taste...

This time I wanted to try complete vegetarian dish since few of my friends requested the same. So here is another addition to my food journey ...





What you need... 


  •  Mushrooms ( small button mushrooms will be perfect ). Dont wash them, instead brush-off the dust and particles from it to just clean dry. 250 grams. chop 5-6 mushrooms into very small pieces and for remaining just cut the stem.
  • Spinach 2 cups. ( for frozen spinach cubes, put in microwave for 2 minutes. if fresh then rinse in running water and finely chop or blend with a hand blender)
  •  4 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium sized red onion chopped 
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 5-6 black whole black pepper
  •  2-3 green chilly chopped
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1.5 teaspoon dry Oregano
  • one teaspoon turmeric powder
  •  salt as per taste





Method:
Heat some olive oil in pan and once the oil is hot enough add the cumin seeds and black pepper to it. Once cumin is fried add the chopped onions and garlic to it and stir occasionally on a medium flame. If onion starts to turn golden brown, add the chopped as well as whole mushrooms to the pan and mix well. Add salt and turmeric powder. let it cook for 5 minutes on low flame without putting the lid on. 





Now add the spinach and chopped green chilly to the pan and mix it well. Add dry oregano and if like may be pepper powder.  let it cook for another 5-6 minutes and add 1 cup milk to it. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for another 5-8 minutes on a low flame and then its ready to serve. Mushrooms take very less time to cook, and the taste is much better if they are not over cooked.  

This dish can be accompanied with chapati, or naan, or rice or mixed with boiled pasta as well.


Try and please feel free to add your comments/suggestions or variations.. !! 

Happy eating.. !!
