Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 200g (7 ounces) mushrooms, sliced
- 3 medium onions, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
Dairy and Liquids:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 100 milliliters (3.4 fluid ounces) fresh cream
- 200 milliliters (6.8 fluid ounces) water
Seasonings and Thickeners:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 240 milliliters (8 fluid ounces) water (for corn flour)
- Dry pudina (mint) leaf, crumbled
Instructions
- Heat butter in a large skillet over medium temperature until melted and bubbling.
- Incorporate finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent and soft, releasing their sweet aromatics for approximately 4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and quickly stir to prevent burning, allowing the fragrant notes to permeate the butter for about 45-60 seconds.
- Introduce sliced mushrooms to the skillet, spreading them evenly to ensure maximum surface contact for proper caramelization and browning.
- Cook mushrooms on medium-high heat, allowing them to release moisture and develop deep golden-brown edges, approximately 6-7 minutes.
- Pour fresh cream into the skillet, creating a luxurious base that will envelop the mushrooms with rich, velvety texture.
- Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and red chili powder, stirring thoroughly to distribute spices evenly.
- Introduce water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
- Prepare corn flour slurry by whisking it with water, then slowly incorporate into the skillet to thicken the sauce and create a smooth consistency.
- Simmer for 2-3 minutes until sauce reaches desired thickness, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.
- Garnish with crumbled dry pudina leaf, adding a subtle herbal note to the dish.
- Serve immediately while hot, accompanying with rice, pasta, or as a standalone side dish.
Notes
- Slice mushrooms uniformly to ensure even cooking and perfect browning, creating a consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Adjust spice levels by gradually adding red chili powder, allowing you to control the heat intensity without overwhelming the delicate mushroom flavor.
- Use fresh garlic for a more robust and aromatic base, which elevates the overall taste profile of the creamy sauce.
- Consider using a mixture of wild mushrooms to add depth and complexity to the dish, introducing different textures and subtle flavor variations.
