Simple quick stir fry of Mushroom, peas and spring onions flavoured with aromatic Indian spices.
This recipe is for those days where you literally want to dump everything on the pot and return to your dent in the couch. The thought of cooking curry from scratch probably scares many of us, but itβs really easy when you know the flavor combinations of the different spices. This isnβt tricky to make at the best of times. You just need one pan and one spoon to make this and you may as well have cooked the whole meal on your one stovetop. I made this long back and drafted it, but posting it now. I cook a lot of mushroom recipes; it is one of the best vegetarian side dish curries. I know paneer is the best π but when I want to have it with less fat, I just make with the mushroom with no cream, cashew or anything. I love the flavor of scallions/ green onion flavor. I love to add them to my gravies and even rice.
