Mushrooms can be cooked in a number of ways. Stuffed mushroom is the most appealing. I have modified it to make a curry with stuffed mushrooms. Hope you like the new version of it.

Ingredients:

For Stuffed mushroom curry (4 servings)



White fresh Mushrooms [large]  ? 12

Paneer ?1cup grated

Tomato puree- ½ cup

Ginger-garlic paste- 1 tbsp

Cashew paste ? ½ cup

Mustard seeds [Rai] ? 1 tsp

Cumin seeds [Jeera] ?1 tsp

Turmeric powder- 1 tsp

Red chili powder ? 1 tsp

Kitchen king masala ? 1 tsp

Dry kasoori methi ? 1 tsp

Whole milk ? 1 cup

Cooking oil ? 1 tbsp

Salt as per taste

Method:

Thoroughly clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp kitchen towel. [Please do not wash mushrooms as water makes them soggy.]
Gently take the stems out of mushrooms, which makes a hollow space in the mushrooms.

To make stuffing:

Take all the cut stems of mushrooms and mince them finely.
In a pan, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil and add half mustard seeds and half cumin seeds. When it starts splattering, add minced mushroom stems, grated paneer, half tsp turmeric powder, half tsp kitchen king masala, and salt as per taste. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.

To make gravy:

In a pan, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil and add half mustard seeds and half cumin seeds. When it starts splattering, add ginger-garlic paste, sauté for couple of minutes and add tomato puree to it. Also add half tsp kitchen king masala, half tsp red chili powder, half tsp turmeric powder. Mix well and sauté for another 4-5 minutes.
Add cashew paste and whole milk to the gravy. Let it simmer for further 4-5 minutes. Add salt and finally add dry kasoori methi to the gravy.

For mushroom curry:

Fill the cleaned mushrooms with the above stuffing. Keep aside.
In a pan heat, 1 tbsp oil and arrange the stuffed mushrooms in a single layer. Let it cook on each side for 4 minutes.
When mushrooms are completely done, arrange them stuffing side up in the serving platter. Drizzle the gravy around the mushrooms and serve hot.
