Mushroom Methi Malai...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: ,

In Goa rainy season is going on now...and its the end of the wild natural mushroom also:-((...This mushroom start growing in july and grow till august end....I love this mushrooms a lot, they are very very yummy:-))....These mushrooms grow in forests and people pluck them and sell them.These mushrooms have lot of demand in Goan market..I have put a pic of this wild mushrooms below  for those who do not know much about them...This year also i enjoyed lot of this wild  mushrooms...i made the usual goan dishes  with them which i have already posted last year,and when i had lot of them still remaining i decided to try something new and different with them...Finally i decided to make a fusion of a punjabi gravy  and this mushrooms and "Mushroom Methi Malai" came to birth and it turned out very well:-))...the flavour of this mushrooms combined very well with that of methi leaves....
Last year i had posted some tasty dishes with this wild mushrooms. I have given the links below for those who missed it.


                                            
                                                          Goan Natural Wild Mushrooms

INGREDIENTS:
  • 50 medium sized fresh wild mushrooms
  • 2 cups packed of  fresh fenugreek leaves(methi)
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh cream( i used low fat)
  • 3 cups skimmed milk
  • 1/2 cup cashewnuts
  • 1/2 cup charmagaz (dried melon seeds)
  • 1 big onion
  • 2-3 green chillis
  • 1" ginger
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 tea spoon poppy seeds(khus khus)
  • 4 cloves
  • 4 green cardamoms
  • 4-5 peppercorns
  • 3/4 tea spoon fennel seeds
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1-2 tea spoon sugar
  • pinch of fresh nutmeg powder
  • 1/2 tea spoon garam masala
  • 3-4 table spoons of butter(low fat prefered)
  • 2 table spoons of kasoori methi
  • oil/ghee
  • salt

METHOD:


Soak cashewnuts and charmagaz in little water for  2 hours.Similarly soak poppy seeds , cardomomss,cinnamon,cloves,peppercorns and fennel seeds in little water for 2 hours.


This wild mushrooms has lot of mud as you can see it on the above pic on them so they have to be washed very well so that all the mud goes. The best method to wash them is soak them in water for 15 mins and then rub each one of them gently with a muslin cloth, all the mud on them gets absorbed by the cloth.After washing them chop them in 2 pieces and keep.


After the soaking time is complete we need to make the white paste.Take small grinder and in it add all soaked spices, cashewnuts, charmagaz,chopped onion, green chillis , garlic cloves and ginger pieces in it and grind using water used to soak them .Grind it to fine thick paste, do not use much water.


Now heat a non stick pan and add little  butter and saute the fenugreek leaves for 3-4  mins and keep them aside.After that saute the chopped mushrooms for 7-8 mins or till they are cooked.Close and cook  them for 2-3 mins while sauting.After they are done keep them aside.


Heat a pan and add 1 table spoon of butter.Add the grinded white paste and saute it for 7-8 mins on low flame till the raw smell goes.Keep stirring countinously or the paste can get burned.Whisk the cream for 1min.Then add the fresh cream and milk and mix well.Cook it on low flame till the mixture starts boiling.


When it starts boiling add the sauted fenugreek leaves and mushrooms and mix well and let it cook again.Add salt, sugar and nutmeg powder.Check the consistency of the gravy.It should be thick creamy gravy.Add more milk if required to adjust the consistency.When it starts boiling add garam masala and stir.Finally add kasoori methi and remove from flame.

Add some butter on it and serve hot with nan or roti.


Preparation Time: 35 mins


NOTE: You can even use button mushrooms instead of wild mushrooms if you do not get them.
This is a mildly spiced dish, so i have used little amount of spices,if you want you can increase the amount of spices added.

"Risotto"is one of the most popular dish in Italian cuisine...so how can i miss it posting in my blog. So i am posting this mushroom risotto recipe today, which i prepare frequently...its a very simple and easy one.If you do not get arborio rice  you can use short grained basmati rice instead. I have used mushroom soup powder which gives a very nice taste and even the flavor of mushroom is infused well.Give it a try and i am sure you will love it.




INGREDIENTS:

  •  1  cup arborio rice(or short grain basmati rice)
  • 3/4 cup chopped mushrooms

  • 20 ml juice of fresh grapes(optional)
  • 2 -3 table spoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tea spoon freshly ground pepper
  • olive oil

METHOD:


Heat a thick bottomed vessel.Add little olive oil in it and add chopped garlic and saute for 2 mins.Better if u use wooden spoon for it.Then add 1 bay leaf and few strands of fresh thyme and saute for few seconds.Now add the chopped onion and saute for few mins till its soft.


Meanwhile you can make the mushroom stalk.Mix the mushroom soup powder with 5 cups of water, stir it properly so that no lumps are formed.Heat this mixture for 4-5 mins till it gets mixed properly and thickens a bit.


Now when the onion is sauted well and is soft enough add the chopped mushrooms and saute them for few mins till they are done.Now add the grapes juice and cook till its fully absorbed by the mushrooms.Then add the rice and half amount of mushroom stalk which was prepared earlier.After few mins add the remaining  mushroom stalk and vegetable seasoning powder and close and cook for 15-20 mins on low flame.


After 15-20 mins the rice need to be fully cooked and mushy.All the water need to be dried up.Then add little salt if required as seasoning powder,stalk and cheese already contains it.Add butter, fresh cream and grated parmesan cheese and mix it well.Cook for 1 min and add pepper powder and mix a bit and remove from flame.


Garnish with fresh parsley and serve it hot.


Preparation Time 30 mins


NOTE: Always use a thick bottomed vessel for it , or else the rice might get burned in the cooking process.
Use the ready-made  available mushroom soup powder it gives a nice taste and flavour.
If you do not get fresh grapes juice, no problem you can follow the rest recipe or use white wine instead.Use of fresh grape juice gives a nice taste to mushrooms
For 1 cup of rice use of 5 cups of mushroom stalk is necessary.

Mushroom White Sauce Bruschetta...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: , , ,



Well this recipe came into existence cause of my wierd imagination. I like white sauce and i observed that mushroom tastes well with white sauce as they compliment each other well.And the idea of keeping it on toast came from the concept of Bruschetta.Bruschetta is an famous italian snack.It consists of grilled bread with olive oil, pepper, cheese etc. Variations may include toppings of meat, vegetables, beans, Bruschetta is usually served as a snack or appetizer. I named this dish bruschetta as it was similar to it but with little modifications made by me.I made them and they tasted superb. Everyone who tasted it liked its taste and asked me the recipe also:-))

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups chopped button mushrooms
3 cups milk
1 medium size finely chopped onion
15 bread slices
2 table spoon butter
2 table spoon cornflour
1 cup grated cheese
1 tea spoon oregeno
4 table spoon butter
extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tea spoon pepper powder
1 table spoon cilantro
salt

METHOD:

Heat a pan and add two table spoon of butter,when its melted add mushroom pieces and fry them for 3-4 mins till soft.

Heat a kadia, add butter, when its melted add Garlic pieces and fry till they turn light golden and leave aroma.Now add choped onion and saute till soft and light brown.Now add cornflour and keep stirring countinously for 2 mins till its raw smell goes . Now add milk and keep on stirring till thick, avoid lumps.

when its thick enough. add pepper powder and salt. Add fried mushrooms and mix well.Add grated cheese and mix well. Add oregeno and remove from flame.

Now take the bread slices. Cut them in round shape using a sharp edge bowl. You can use the bread without giving it round shape also.

Heat a non stick tawa, add butter or olive oil and fry the bread slices till golden and crisp on both sides.You can even toast them in a toaster.

Take each toast and put mushroom mixture and garnish with cilantro.Serve Hot.

NOTE: If you want mushroom mixture to be more spicy, you can add some chilli flakes to it.

NOTE: To get the authentic italian bruschetta taste using olive oil to toast the bread slices is a must.

Simple Mushroom Rolls...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: , ,


This mushroom roll is a very simple and tasty .I make different types of mushroom rolls, this is one of them. For this roll i have used the same stuffing as mushroom kathi roll which i had posted some days ago, but this roll has a soft and chewy coating campared to hard coating of kathi roll.You can try its coating with some other stuffing also like paneer, corn etc

INGREDIENTS:

For Stuffing:

Prepare as in this recipe

For Coating:

1 cup maida(all purpose flour)
1/2 cup curd
2 tea spoon sesame seeds(til)
salt
butter

METHOD:

Prepare the stuffing according to the recipe.


Take a bowl and add maida. Add curd, salt, sesame seeds and mix well. Add water to get a required consistency for the batter.It should be like dosa batter.

Heat a tawa and add butter. Take little batter in a laddel and spread it like a medium size dosa. When its done from down, put the stuffing on it and roll it on tawa only. Since the top side of dosa is not cooked directly it will help in sealing it.

Seal the roll properly and cook for 2-3 mins turning frequently so that it gets cooked on all sides.

Remove from flame and cut in pieces and serve hot.

Mushroom Kathi Rolls...!!!

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: , ,


Different types of kathi rolls and plain rolls of vegetable and chicken are famous in india. I am posting mushroom kathi role recipe today. Its for a change from the normal vegetable and chicken kathi roles.I had seen normal vegetable kathi role recipe on net and modified it into a mushroom kathi role. It tasted very good . My idea of adding tomato-chiili sauce and fresh butter worked out well.Tomato-chilli sauce and fresh butter bleands well with mushrooms and gives a nice taste and wetness to the mushroom mixture.Perfect for rolls.

1 cup chopped natural mushrooms(or artificial)
2 big onions finely sliced
1 tea spoon chilli powder

salt
oil

For Roti:

1 cup maida(or plain flour)
1 table spoon corn flour
1/2 tea spoon baking soda
1 tea spoon butter
salt

Take 1 cup of plain flour in a bowl. Add to it a pinch of salt, butter, and corn flour and soda.

Knead the mixture into soft dough by adding water. Cover the dough with a wet muslin cloth and keep it aside for half an hour.

Meanwhile we need to make the mushroom mixture. Heat oil in a pan and fry onion till golden brown.add ginger-garlic paste and saute for 2 mins.

Now add the mushrooms, add salt and cover and cook on low flame till mushrooms get cooked well.Natural mushrooms take time while cooking.

When mushrooms are almost cooked add chilli powder, corainder powder and garam masala and mix properly. Add cream after 1 min and mix well.Now add butter and stir on low flame.

After 2mins add tomato-chilli sauce and mix and remove from heat. Mixture is ready.keep aside.

Now, take a small portion of the dough and roll it giving a round shape. Make it as thin as possible. Cook each side of roti lightly on tawa by applying little ghee

Now, fill the roti with enough of mushroom mixture. Roll it into a swiss role.

Now Fry the role on tawa for 2-3 mins by turning again and again. Cut the rolls into small pieces and serve hot.

Reapeat the same process with remaing rotis.

Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: , , ,

I am posting one more mushroom recipe today. 'Alambe' means mushroom in konkani and 'Tonak' is konkani word used for gravies prepared with fried grated coconut. This mushroom gravy tastes best when prepared with naturaly grown mushrooms.I have added more info on them here. I just love this dish with natural mushrooms. Artifically grown mushrooms can also be used but they do not taste as good as this natural ones.
 



INGREDIENTS:

2 cups verticaly chopped naturaly grown mushrooms( artificial will also do)
1 1/2 cup fresh grated coconut
4 onions chopped
1 1/2 tea spoon turmeric
2 table spoon home made goan garam masala( or garam masala)
3-4 dried kokum (sola)
1/2 tea spoon sugar
salt
oil
 
METHOD:

Take a kadai and add liitle oil. When its hot add 1/4 portion of the chopped onions and fry till till they turn light brown. Now add the coconut and fry for 4-5 mins. Remove from flame and cool.

Now take the fried coconut mixture and add turmeric in it. Grind this to a fine paste using water. Keep it aside.

Now take a vessel and add little oil. Fry 1/4 amont of the remaining chopped onion in it. when its light brown add the mushroom pieces and the remaining half quantity chopped onion. Mix well and add little water so that the mushrooms gets cooked.

When the mushrooms are almost cooked add salt and the masala powder. I use home made masala called as 'samar masala'.Its a goan masala. I vl post tis recipe some other time.Now add the ground coconut paste and mix well. Check the consistency of the gravy.It should be of medium thickness. If its more thick add more water and adjust. now add the sugar. check the taste of salt and masala and add more if required.

When the gravy starts boiling add the dried kokum and remove from flame.

Serve hot with paratha , chapati or rice.

NOTE: If dried kokum is not available use tamrind paste instead of it. Kokum is used as it goes well with mushrooms.It gives the required taste and bit of colour.
