• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the mushrooms thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger. Slit the green chili lengthwise.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds.

Add the mushrooms to the pan and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cover and let the mushrooms release their water for 5 minutes.

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover and cook for another 10 minutes, until the gravy thickens and the mushrooms are tender.
