Mushroom Rara

It's weekend and it is time to try something different and interesting. I have tried this mushroom curry. It is inspired from the Himachal style Mutton Rara. I have replaced mutton with mushroom.

Ingredients:

• Mushroom
• Tomatoes - 3
• Onions - 2
• Green chilly - 1
• Lemon - 1/2
• Ginger-Garlic 
• Coriander leaves
• Ghee/ Butter
• Cumin seeds
• Turmeric powder
• Red chilly powder
• Salt
• Garam masala
• Bay leaf - 1
• Cloves - 6
• Cardamom - 3
• Cumin seeds
• Coriander seeds

For garam masala

Preparation:

• For garam masala:
• Roast all the ingredients for garam masala directly in a pan.
• Grind them.

• Take a deep frying pan and heat. Once the pan is hot, add 6 spoons of mustard oil. Keep in high flame.
• Add the cumin seeds and wait till it crackles.
• Add the chopped onions, green chilly and ginger-garlic crushed. Saute well.
• Add the tomatoes and saute well for 5 mins.
• Add red chilly powder, turmeric powder and salt. Stir for 5-10 mins till it becomes a paste. You can add more mustard oil now if needed.
• Add the ground garam masala and stir well for a minute.
• Add the chopped mushrooms and stir well.
• Mushroom juice will start coming out now. Add little more water and stir well.
• Add ghee and stir well.
• Close with a lid for 5 mins. Keep in low flame.
• Add coriander leaves to garnish and also squeeze lemon.

Super spicy and finger-licking-good mushroom rara curry is ready. Now do some 'pett pooja' with some soft phulkas/ rotis.
