Nilam and I were talking about documenting all of our recipes, especially the ones that we have made up our selves. The original idea was to have it available as a booklet that we can give out to our family and friends. But then we got even a better idea of having them on Medavo… and also extending the same invitation to the rest of the family. We just thought it would be an awesome resource to have online.

Let me know your thoughts,

To start off, here is what my very own version of a Mushroom shak,

“Mushroom Delight”
Ingredients

10 oz Pack of Baby Bella Mushrooms
½ Medium size Onion
1 ½ handful Raisins
1 ½ handful dried Cranberries
3 Table Spoons of Olive Oil

According To taste
Ginger
Garlic
Green Chilly Peppers (hot)
Red Hot Pepper
Turmeric
Gharam Masala
½ lemon

Heat up the Olive Oil in a flat non stick pan.

Sauté Onions, Garlic and Ginger in the oil.

When onions are slightly brown put in the cranberries and raisins and let them cook for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and rest of the spices to the mix.

let the whole mixture cook for at least five to seven minutes, then add ½ cup of water. (do not add water before this).

Let it cook for another ten minutes.

The point is to let the mushrooms loose all the water and get small and let the Raisins and Cranberries regain water and become juicy.

Add lemon juice as needed after tasting it and let it cook for a couple more minutes.

Serve with Rotli
