Whole masala-

2. Dry chilli- 2 to 3pieces
3. Cardamom
4. Cloves
5. Black Pepper cones
6. Cumin seeds

Procedure:

For this recipe if you use the whole spices and grind them to make powder after roasting will be more preferable. But due to shortage of time I used readymade powdered spices. Ghee is preferable in this recipe.

Chop the onion, green chilli and grind to make a paste. Same way grind tomato to make a puree. Clean and cut the mushroom. Take a skillet pour oil in it, add cumin seeds and curry leave(optional). Pour in the onion paste, ginger/garlic paste and cook till the raw smell goes. Next add the tomato pure and then the turmeric powder, chilli powder,pepper powder and coriander powder. Close the lid and cook  for few minutes till the gravy becomes thick and all the water dries away. Take the chopped mushroom and saute it till the mushrooms turns golden colour in a different wok. Add this sauted mushroom to the gravy together with the chopped bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes and add the garam masala. Open  the lid and  check for any excess water is there. Add the kasuri methi and salt. If water is there then make it dry on low flame. Garnish with coriander leaves.
