Mushroom Patiala (Mushrooms in spicy onion pepper yogurt sauce)

Mushroom Patiala is a spiced dish featuring sautéed mushrooms and vegetables cooked in a tomato-based yogurt sauce with Indian spices like coriander, garam masala, and Kashmiri chili powder. The sauce balances tangy yogurt with warming spices and fresh ginger and chili accents. Tender mushrooms and crisp peppers combine for a textured vegetable main suitable for a gluten-free, nut-free, and optionally soy-free diet depending on ingredients used.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make the patiala: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the onion, bell pepper, and a good pinch of salt and cook until the onion starts to turn translucent. 3-5 mins
  2. Then add the mushroom and another good pinch of salt and stir. Cook until the mushrooms are golden on some of the edges. 6-8 mins. Remove the mixture from the skillet into a bowl and set aside.
  3. In that same skillet add 1 teaspoon of oil, the ginger-garlic paste, ground coriander, garam masala, black pepper, and the whole clove, and mix really well for a few seconds. Add the chopped tomato and a splash of water, mix and continue to cook for 5-8 minutes until the tomatoes are jammy, press and mash some of the larger tomato pieces.
  4. Then add the yogurt and the Kashmiri chili powder and bring them to a boil. Mix really well. Add the water, ginger, green chili, and the reserved mushroom mixture ,salt and mix in. Bring to a good boil, Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Check if the mushrooms are cooked to your preference otherwise let them simmer for a few more minutes. Take off the heat. If you want it saucy you can add some non-dairy milk.
  5. Once cooked, add some cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice and serve with vegan omelet. (The chicken Patiala is usually served with an omelet.)
  6. To make the omelet heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot add a thick layer of the “Just Egg” or my moong egg batter and spread it around. Top it with paprika and black pepper. (The amount is for 2 large omelets. Divide the batter and spices into 2 to use ).
  7. Once the “Just Egg” starts to set a little bit, use a spatula to pick up the edges and make sure they are not sticking to the pan. Continue to cook until the bottom of the omelet is starting to turn a little bit golden, then fold the omelet over and transfer it to your serving dish. Repeat for the next omelet.
  8. Top it with mushroom patiala , cilantro or green onion and black pepper and serve. Or Serve with Naan or rice. Store in the fridge for upto 3 days

Notes

  • To make this dish with vegan chicken or seitan, cook 10 oz added to the onion and pepper mixture until golden before combining with sauce.
  • Soy curls must be rehydrated and drained before adding to vegetables, using about 4-5 ounces for this recipe.
  • This dish is gluten-free and nut-free; soy-free if using a soy-free non-dairy yogurt.
