Mushroom Tawa Masala

Cooking in Tawa is an old tradition. Tawa is not only used for making rotis, but so many delicious dishes can be made using it. One of them is Mushroom Tawa masala.  The main flavor comes from butter. Only BUTTER. No oil. So, calorie conscious people , beware.... ;) This dish can be had with roti, chapathy or naan.Its really quick to prepare, yet tastes great. I prepared it using button mushrooms. You can use any mushrooms available in your market. Also, I added cherry tomatoes to this. You can use ordinary tomatoes as well. You can add/ omit the spice powders according to your taste.

Ingredients

• Button Mushrooms - 150 gms cut in to medium sizes
• Butter - 2 tblspn
• Garlic - 5 cloves , very finely chopped
• Onion - 1 , very finely chopped
• Capsicum - 1/2 cup, cubed
• Tomatoes - 1/2 cup, cubed
• Tomato puree- 2 tsp
• Coriander leaves - 1 tblspn , finely chopped
• Curd - 2 tsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
• Sugar - 1 tsp
• Salt - to taste
• Onion rings - to garnish
• Lemon juice - 2 tsp
• Coriander leaves - to garnish

Spice Powders

• Coriander powder - 2 tsp
• Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
• Chilli powder - 2 tsp
• Dried mango powder - 1 tsp
• Cumin seeds powder - 1 tsp
• Pav bhaji masala - 2 tsp

Method

• Heat butter in a tawa and add garlic chops and coriander leaves. 

 

• Add onions

 

• Add all the spice powders, salt, sugar and give it a good mix

 

• Now add mushrooms, tomato puree and capsicum and toss them well in the gravy. Allow the mushroom to cook in its own water. 

 

• Once all the water is evaporated, add curds and tomatoes. Cook it for 3 or 4 minutes, until the tomato is cooked. It will not take much time. 

 

• Switch off the gas and transfer it to the serving dish. Garnish them with onion rings and coriander leaves. Squeeze some lime juice. (I also used cherry tomatoes for garnishing)

Serve it sizzling hot along with rotis/ phulkas / naan. This can also be served with any mild pulavs

Notes

• You can add the tomatoes when you add mushrooms and capsicum. I dont want the tomatoes to be mashed completely, hence I added along with the curds.
