Chop button mushrooms of about 200 gms ,each in 4 pieces. Put mustard seeds and golden fry onion,crushed garlic,dry red chillis and curry leaves.
When onion are golden, add coriander powder,turmeric,red chilli powder,chicken masala and salt.



 Saute for 5 minutes. Add mushroom and cook for 5 minutes. Add a cup of water depending on how gravy you want it to be. Cook for 10 minutes more.

All Masala Lamb curry

Tender lamb is delectable and most tastiest when combined with the spices. Another experimental weekend and topped off with deserts too!!

Saute the cubes till they are slightly brown.Then shift them to a cooker. Saute the onion and GG paste with the spices for 5 minutes. Shift this too. Add water which covers the mix till a quarter more. After 5minutes of cooking add 2 heaps of garam masala,1 tsp chilli flakes and salt. Close lid and cook on medium flame for 7-8 whistles.

Serve with steamed rice or kulcha.
