Successful trial of Baked Mushrooms!!!!!!

Yesterday I was thinking of doing something different with my mushroom bag as I wanted a healthy starter out of it.So thinking healthy, chose to bake the dish and having spinach and cheese in my kitchen thought of stuffing that in the inverted concavity of the little button mushroom.If you are those kinds who dont like cheese can do with paneer(cottage cheese) also.This starter is really easy to have and its different!!!Just like Maggi hot and sweet chilli sauce , goes well with it....
Ingredients:
1)Ten-twelve mushrooms
2)1 cup spinach washed and chopped
3)Four-five cloves of Garlic
4)1/2 cup of milk
5)Black pepper fresh to sprinkle
6)Salt to taste
7)Oregano to flavour/ any Indian herb like coriander
8)Butter is must to cook the filling
9)Cheese /Paneer 1 cup
10)Grated cheese to garnish
11)Bread two slices
We preheat our oven at 200 for 5 minutes.During that time start our filling prep.We take pan and add butter and garlic to saute.(to avoid burning of butter add drops of oil into it).One twist to this dish is that we save the stock of mushroom and finely chop it and is added to the mixture to be filled.Then we add small chunks of bread slices and spinach.Season it with pinch of salt and black pepper.Finally add milk and stir the mix till thick creamy texture.Add cheese and let the mix cool for some minutes.Then we would fill our mushrooms with it
Put the little buttons on baking tray and bake for 15 minutes and see if all juices are evaporated and mushrooms look golden brown and smells yummy!!!!
Try this with evening soup and I am sure its a hit!!!!

Mushroom Methi Malai Matar - Four yummy M's

This week I thought of something veggie and involved all four components which are liked individually by my daughter and hubby.After being a mumma I have learnt to find nutrition in every bite my little one takes and love to extend my recipes for her choices.Being a mother of a fussy toddler I am more in kitchen and coming up with something which I never cooked before.We make them eat while talking of colours or cartoons or any thing that makes them open their much awaited mouth.Thats the biggest joy right now in my life.so we begin our recipe with serving two adults and accompanies well with hot roti.
Ingredients:
1)Mushrooms 250g
2)Onion one medium
3)Tomato paste of two
4)Peas 125 g
5)Kasurimethi 1tablespoon
6)Cream or malai two tablespoon
7)Gingergarlicpaste 1 tablespoon
8)Dry masalas-coriander powder 1 teaspoon,garam masala 1 teaspoon,red chilli powder as per taste,jeera
9)salt to taste
10)Cooking oil
11)Butter for sauting mushroom first
We start  by chopping our veggies.Cut as u like to eat.I cut all in one size,that cooks well evenly.So we saute our mushrooms in butter and keep aside.The saute  is for few minutes as  to let it leave its juices.We take pan and start by pouring oil for frying.Now we add jeera once spluttering then onion and turn them golden brown then ginger garlic paste and further add tomato paste .After they leave oil add coriander powder and garam masala.Now we add peas and then we  stir it for few minutes cover the lid and after 5minutes add kasuri methi and mushrooms sauteed ones,once all this leaves oil add salt and finally cream.We wont cook much after adding cream,just let the mix get cooked evenly,remove from cooktop.Garnish with coriander and enjoy hot veggies with phulkas.Hint of kasurimethi adds wonderful flavour and adds newdimension to this.
