    Mushroom Masala/Kasuri Mushroom Masala

    “Mamma guess what!! We had a topic on mushrooms “my son said excitedly” and we learnt so much about this particular specie of fungi” I smiled and my son needing no further encouragement went on how they were grown and the various mushrooms one could consume “you know mamma not all mushrooms are edible, some are extremely poisonous. We must take care not to pick any wild mushrooms which we see growing here and there and our teacher told us that we can grow mushrooms organically at home also, why don’t we do that mummy”, asked my son eagerly I tousled my son’s hair and looked on while he continued his nonstop chattering about his favourite food.
    “Mamma are you listening to what I am saying” nudged my son and as I nodded my head, he went on animatedly stating the various health benefits of this beautiful specie of fungi. “Mamma you know it is fat free, low in calories, filled with vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. It has anti-cancer properties and plant chemicals called beta-glucans found in shiitake mushrooms are said to activate immune cells that fight infection. They are rich in Potassium and Selenium a mineral is believed to fight prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease”. I looked on in wonder and asked him how come he gathered so much information about mushrooms, he said “oh we did some detailed research during our library period” piped in my son. It was such a gratification to see my son knowing much about mushrooms
    There are wonderful types of mushrooms and each one them have a different flavour and texture. Some are small, while some are big and meaty. To name a few “Maitake, shiitake, Enoki, oyster, Portobello and white button mushroom. He said “ mamma now that I know so much about this Mushroom can i come along with you to the Departmental store and choose the mushrooms for you?” I agreed and he came along with me to the departmental store and it exhibited quite a variety of mushrooms in baskets, in packages and my son was enthralled. He picked up Button mushroom and thoroughly enjoyed the shopping experience. “Today it will be a feast for us . Won’t it be mummy?” I smiled at his unadulterated excitement and my mind raced with a variety of recipes based on mushrooms. I chose the one which my son loved the most, Mushroom Masala.
    Mushroom masala is delicious and quick dish made in onion tomato based curry. It gets ready under 30 minutes and you can enjoy this yummy mushroom masala with naan/phulka/paratha or even peas pulao and your weeknight dinner is sorted. Mushroom Masala makes a great add to your get together lunch/dinner spread. We throroughly relished the mushroom masala with naan and some salad on the side. Let’s head on to see how it is made
