Mushroom Curry(Chaatu Tarkari)

-
The auspicious month of Kartik is about to be over. But Tanmaya had enough of his share of vegetarian and started complaining that I don't give him anything rich any more. So I decided to make some delicious mushroom curry. A delicious veg curry that goes well with rotis or rice, Chattu Tarkari or Mushroom Curry is easy to make and highly delicious.
Hereis the recipe for Chaatu Tarkari

Ingredients:
  1. Fresh Mushrooms: 1 cup 
  2. Potato: 1 medium cut into small cubes
  3. Onion: 1 small chopped finely
  4. Green Peas: 1/4 cup
  5. Ginger paste: 1/4 tsp 
  6. Garlic paste: 1/2 tsp 
  7. Tomato paste(puree): 1 cup
  8. Whipping Cream: 1/4 cup 
  9. Red chilli powder: 1 tsp 
  10. Turmeric powder: 1/2 tsp
  11. Coriander powder: 1/2 tbsp
  12. Cumin powder: 1/4 tbsp
  13. Chopped Coriander leaves
  14. Oil 4tsp

Procedure:
Clean the mushroom and cut them into halves.
Then soak them in turmeric water for 1/2hrs.
Squeeze the mushroom properly to drain out the water.
Take a pan & put 2tsp of oil and fry the mushrooms. As the mushrooms start oozing water add the cubed potatoes and fry, this way the potato would absorb all the wonderful taste of the mushroom.
Once all the water dries up, remove the mushrooms and potatoes.
After these have been fried, keep those aside.
Put 2tbs of in a pan .
Add onion along with a pinch of salt and let it cook till they turn translucent. 
Add the red chili  powder to it and cook till the raw smell is gone.
Add ginger and garlic paste and cook till the raw smell is gone.
Add the turmeric, coriander and cumin powder and tomato puree along with salt to taste and cook it for 4-5 mins or till oil oozes out.
Add the whipping cream and cook for another 2-4 mins. 
Add the potatoes , cover and cook till the potatoes are almost cooked through, then add the green peas and fried mushroom. Mix well add 1/2 cup of water and bring it to a boil and let the potatoes to cook through completely. 

Garnish with Coriander leave and serve with rice or roti and enjoy.
Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t
