Mushrooms With Ginger and Green Chilli (Khombi Tarkari) image

This lovely Indian dish can be eaten warm or cold. Apart from serving it as a side dish to an Indian meal, I think it would also be nice as a warm topping over lettuce (such as lamb's lettuce). When I made this as part of a vegetarian Indian meal, the mushrooms were a big hit with my vegetarian friend Linda. The recipe is adapted from Julie Sahnie's Indian cookbook.

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped gingerroot
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
2 green chilies, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 lbs mushrooms
salt
1 teaspoon cumin seed, roasted and crushed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a wok or a large skillet. Add onions and fry them on medium heat for 3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic and chilli and fry for another 2 minutes.
  • Add turmeric, mushrooms and some salt. Fry (stir from time to time) until all the liquid from the mushroom has vanished and the mushrooms have browned (ca 15 minutes).
