Creamy Mushroom Curry


Yummy Mushrooms Served With Rice
I come from a family where they don't cook mushrooms! My Granny thinks that they are only part of the fungus group that grows in a dirty way! It was funny making her understand that mushrooms were edible and can be cooked into a very tasty dish. I told her my recipe on the phone and she was excited about it.

Here is my recipe for the Creamy Mushroom curry:

Ingredients

Mushroom - 1 Packet

Onions - 1 small, finely chopped

Green Chillies - 3 or 4 (Reduce it if you cannot take spicy food)

Butter - 1 tbsp

Three Cream Pasta Sauce - 2 Tbsp

Oil - To sautee

Oregano, salt and pepper - To Taste


How To Proceed


  • On a pan, add oil and heat it to medium
  • Add the green chillies and onions. Saute it till they brown at the edges.
  • Add the mushrooms (I cut them into two halves, you can chop them into smaller pieces or add them as whole if they are button sized)
  • When the mushrooms brown, and water oozes from them, reduce the heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of Three cream pasta sauce and one tablespoon of butter
  • Let it cook till the you get a nice aroma of creamy mushrooms. 
  • Add Oregano, salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve it hot with rice or roti or bread of your choice
Note

I love them when they are hot. It tastes very good on a cold winter afternoon. If you do not have the pasta sauce, you can add shredded cheddar cheese and a little milk mixed with cornstarch. It will give you the same taste. If you do not have cornstarch, you can add a little all-purpose flour as well.
