- ⅓ cup onions - heaped & finely chopped or 1 medium onion, 60 grams
- ½ cup capsicum - finely chopped, (green bell pepper) or 1 medium capsicum, 80 grams
- 1 green chilli chopped, you can also add 2 green chilies
- ½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 2 tablespoons butter - salted; or swap with oil or unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
- ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ to 1 teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon Pav Bhaji Masala or add as required
- ½ cup water
- ¼ teaspoon kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves)
- ¼ cup Coriander leaves
- salt as required
Instructions
- Place a heavy medium or large tawa or griddle on the stovetop. First heat it on a medium flame. When the tawa gets hot, reduce the heat to a low.
- Add 2 tablespoons butter. You can also use oil instead of butter.
- Add ajwain (carom seeds) and cumin seeds. Sauté for a few seconds. Ajwain gives a good aroma in the dish.
- Next add the finely chopped onions.
- Stir and begin sauté on a low to medium heat, till the onions are softened and turn translucent.
- Then add ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until the raw aroma of ginger-garlic dissipates.
- Now add the finely chopped tomatoes and chopped green chillies. Mix well and then lower the heat.
- Cover the onion-tomato mixture with a lid and cook on a low heat for 4 to 5 minutes. Do check once or twice when the tomatoes are cooking, just to make sure that the mixture is not sticking on the tawa.
- After 4 to 5 minutes, the tomatoes would have softened.
- Using a veggie or potato masher, mash the tomatoes once they have softened.
- You don't need to make a smooth mush of the tomatoes. Just roughly mash the tomatoes.
- Next add the finely chopped capsicum. Mix very well.
- Sauté the capsicum for 2 to 3 minutes on a low heat.
- Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder and pav bhaji masala. If you do not have pav bhaji masala, then add ½ teaspoon garam masala and ¼ teaspoon dry mango powder.
- Mix the spice powders very well with the onion, tomato and capsicum mixture.
- Next add the sliced or chopped white button mushrooms.
- Stir and mix the mushrooms. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Season with salt as per taste. Mix again very well.
- Add ½ cup water and mix again.
- Cover the mushroom mixture with a lid. On a low heat simmer until the mushrooms are tender and cooked well.
- It will take about 10 to 12 minutes for the mushrooms to cook. Do check a couple of times and if the water looks dried up, you can add some more water.
- If there is too much of gravy or water in the dish, then cook until all of the water evaporates. This tawa mushroom masala is dry to semi-dry dish with no gravy.
- Next step is to add coriander leaves and kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves).
- Mix very well and saute for a minute. Turn off the heat.
- Serve with roti or bread or as a side dish with dal-rice.
Notes
- You can also use cremini or portobello mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
- You can add the ground spice powders less or more according to your preferences.
- Skip carom seeds and kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves), if you do not have them.
- Substitute pav bhaji masala with ½ teaspoon garam masala and ¼ teaspoon dry mango powder (amchur powder).
- Instead of tawa, you can also cook the dish in a shallow frying pan or a kadai (wok).
- You can also use cremini or portobello mushrooms instead of button mushrooms.
- Instead of butter, use oil in the recipe.
