6. Onions -1 big
7. Tomato - 1medium

Masalas Required:

Procedure:
Chop onions into very small pieces and keep aside. Also chop the Ginger, Garlic and tomatoes into small pieces. Take a pan and pour oil. When oil becomes hot drop the Mustard and allow to Splutter. Then add the dry red chili and stir for 1 sec. Now add the garlic,ginger and finally the onion. Saute till onions turn golden brown and add tomato. Cook it for few minutes on medium heat.  Turn off the stove and let it cool down. Next grind the mixture and make a smooth paste.

Now cut the Mushrooms and keep aside. Switch on the stove and in the same pan we used before, pour the  paste that we made. Then goes in the Chili powder,Turmeric powder, Coriander powder, and Chicken masala. Add Salt  and cook. Now put the Mushroom, we dont have to add extra water into the curry, because Mushrooms will release water . Cook till the Mushrooms  are done. Incase you want to make the curry to have a thick consistency then remove the lid and cook till the excess water dries off. Garnish the curry with Coriander leaves. Mushroom masala goes good with Fried rice, Roti etc.. Hope you guys liked it.. :)
