God I love Mushrooms in any form. Since we can’t find oh-so-many varieties of mushrooms in our place, so canned button mushrooms work best for me, all the very time 🙂

And for that Desi tooth of yours this chicken and mushrooms combo will do just the thing!

What you need>>>

Chicken—————-  1 kg with bone
Mushrooms———— 25o g thinly sliced (I used canned button mushrooms)
Onion——————- 2 medium, finely chopped
Coriander————– 1/2 bunch
Oil———————– 1/2 cup
Garlic——————- 4 cloves, grated
Ginger—————— 2 inch piece, grated
Salt——————— to taste
Black pepper———- 1 tsp
Green chillies——— 6 – 7 finely chopped
Tomatoes————– 3 finely chopped

How it’s made>>>

1. To oil in the pan add the finely chopped onions and saute till they turn pinkish, don’t let them turn red or burn them :p
2. Once onions are done add the garlic/ginger paste and saute for a minute.
3. Add the chicken to it and cook till it’s golden brown.
4. Now is the right time to add tomatoes, so go ahead, add tomatoes 🙂 and cook for 2 – 3 minutes till they are a wee bit soft.
5. Once it’s nice golden brown and the tomatoes are tender, add salt. And 2 cups of water.
6. Mix well and add the thinly sliced mushrooms, black pepper powder, fresh green coriander and chopped green chillies.
7. Wait till the gravy or Shorba has reduced considerably and oil starts floating on top.
