How to Make Indian Chili Mushroom

  1. **Make the Paste:** Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee in a pan over medium heat. Sauté 1 medium onion, finely chopped, for 2 minutes. Add 1 cup chopped tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of ginger-garlic paste.
  2. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a blender.
  4. Blend until completely smooth. Set aside.
  5. **Cook the Mushrooms:** Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 pound sliced mushrooms and fry for 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  6. **Add Spices:** Stir in 2-3 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. Add salt to taste.
  7. Cook for 20 seconds, then immediately add the blended tomato paste.
  8. **Simmer:** Add 1/2 cup of water (optional), if needed, to adjust the consistency. Simmer until the mushrooms are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  9. **Garnish & Serve:** Stir in 2 chopped scallions and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
  10. Serve hot over cooked basmati rice. Enjoy!
