Spicy Chettinaad Mushroom Masala

I have slowly started to buy and cook Mushroom's. This is the second time, i cooked with Mushroom, and its again the same Mushroom Curry. More than me, My hubby loved it. I did'nt have any idea, of how to prepare it, but some how i framed the recipe, while i cleaned the mushroom's and its here. I would say, this is a very simple recipe, even a beginner can try this .

  29. Hi,
    I tried this and it tasted good. But once I added mushrooms, it started giving out water and it became a gravy.. Any idea what was the reason?
    Thank you

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hi, Mushrooms tend to release the water content. thats normal. what you should have done is leave the pan open at high flame for 3-4 mins, so that the water gets absorbed.

    also make sure to add washed and wiped mushroom.

  35. Hi Lavi,

    This is my first time at your Website. I cooked the 'Spicy Chettinaad Mushroom Masala' according to the recipe that you have shared with us, and it was quite nice.

    HAVING SAID THAT, I have to ask whether this is indeed a CHETTINAADU dish. The reason for my DOUBT is this recipe does NOT include spices/herbs such as ANNASIPOO (star anise), MARATTI MOKKU, KALPAASI, etc., which are more or less a staple in Chettinaadu cuisine.

    Please do correct me if I am wrong. :).

    Thanks!

  38. Hi Lavi,

    PS: did a little addition - added coconut milk as well.
