Instructions

  • Next, add ginger, garlic, coriander and chilli paste.

  • Let it cook on a low flame till it turns golden brown. Keep stirring in between to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Notes

• The onion-tomato masala is the key to this recipe, make sure it is well cooked.
• Boil the peas if using fresh ones.
• Do not cut and mushroom beforehand, else it will turn black.
• Adjust the spices as per taste.
