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 .

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

Lavi July 3, 2011 at 8:28 AM  

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.

sweta nag August 14, 2011 at 9:11 PM

when i bought mushrooms for the first time,i had no idea how to cook them.To make it worse,my wife is away on her studies!thanks to google that i found you.Really great receipe.thank you so much.btw,I had no tomatoes,so used sauce.

Subramanian,  May 13, 2012 at 12:15 AM  

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!

Hi Lavi,
I just tried your mushroom receipe.Its come out really well.Thank you for this receipe.

Anonymous,  September 25, 2012 at 8:09 PM  

Hey lavi,
Thanks a ton for this recipe I've tried and first time my brother-in-law appreciated my receipe.

Anonymous,  October 7, 2012 at 9:13 PM  

Hi Lavi,

Tried the recipe and it came out very well. It was super yummy! Thanks for the recipe.

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