Hariyali Dhingri (Green Mushrooms)

I have always loved mushrooms. My kids not so much. I saw this recipe on SunshineMom's website and wanted to try it out. Even though it is not appealing to the eyes, it turned out delicious. It is quite healthy as well. I am still working on taking good pictures so please bear with me until then. :-)

Recipe: Green Mushrooms (Hariyali Dhingri)

Ingredients:

2 boxes of white button mushrooms

1 cup of cilantro

2 tbsp mint leaves

1 green chilli (2 if you like it spicy)

1 tsp ginger - chopped finely

1 tsp garlic - chopped finely

1.5 tbsp oil (I use canola oil)

1 tsp black mustard seeds

1 tsp jeera seeds (cumin seeds)

1 tsp red chilli powder (if needed, optional)

Salt

Method:

1. With a damp paper towel, clean the mushrooms and chop into quarters. Set aside.

2. Grind cilantro and mint leaves with one teaspoon of water. Set aside.

3. Chop green chilli, garlic,and ginger.

4. Take a pan and heat the oil on medium flame. Add mustard and cumin seeds. When the start to splutter, add the ginger, garlic, and green chilli. After 10 seconds, add the green cilantro-mint paste. Once the water evaporates a little, add the mushrooms.

5. Cook on medium flame. Add salt to taste. If the mushrooms cook quickly and the gravy is still watery, remove the mushrooms from the pan and allow the gravy to cook a little more until excess water evaporates.

6. Serve with roti.
