Learn how to make "Malvani Mushroom Masala Curry" at home with our Chef Varun !!!!!!!

Malvani Mushroom Curry is a flavorful and aromatic dish. It combines button mushrooms with a rich blend of spices and dry coconut. Mushrooms are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Mushrooms are a good source of vitamins, including vitamin D, which is essential for bone health and immune function.
For those who don't eat mushrooms, a great replacement would be tofu or paneer (Indian cottage cheese). Both tofu and paneer have a similar texture to mushrooms and can absorb the curry flavors just as well.

00:00Well, this recipe for me, ladies and gentlemen, is absolutely hitting home ground.
00:04I'm today making a Malvani Curry.
00:06And with Mushrooms.
00:08Malvani Mushroom Curry, my father's all-time favourite.
00:12Let's begin.
00:20Like I said, it's an absolute home recipe.
00:22Button Mushrooms, absolutely easily available.
00:25What's important in this recipe is to make a wet spice mix.
00:29And also have something called Malvani Masala in your kitchen pantry.
00:33Now, in case you do not have that, do not worry.
00:36What's important is the wet spice.
00:38Malvani Masala, there is of course, a take to that.
00:41Which I will tell you through the course of the recipe.
00:44But for now, let's concentrate on the wet spices.
00:46So, let's begin.
00:47First things first, let's turn the flame on.
00:52Let's add in some regular vegetable oil.
00:56Let's begin with sliced dry coconut.
00:59Well, I personally prefer this because of course,
01:01it also has a lot of coconut oil, still present in the coconut slices.
01:05Allow this to turn golden brown on medium flame.
01:08And once that's done, we're going to add in Garlic and sliced Onions.
01:22Allow the Onions now to turn completely golden brown.
01:29The mixture has turned golden brown in colour.
01:32With this, off goes the flame.
01:33And all of this gets transferred onto a plate.
01:37The whole idea and purpose is to ensure this cools down completely,
01:40before we begin grinding.
01:42Once this cools down, let's transfer this into the blender.
01:46And along with this, a couple of more ingredients.
01:49Beginning with a couple of knobs of Ginger, Coriander stem.
01:53And along with this, fresh Green Chillies.
01:57Just snip the stalks off, and break these roughly.
02:01Let's cover this, and grind this into a smooth paste.
02:14Let's turn the flame on, and begin with regular vegetable oil.
02:22Let's begin with Red Onions, finely chopped.
02:27And saute this, till they just kind of begin to turn golden brown in colour.
02:35Let's add in the Ground Spices.
02:40Stir this well, and lower the flame.
02:43And allow this to cook for the second time.
02:45This time, to ensure the oil releases the sides of the pan.
02:50Now at this stage, we need to add in something called a Malvani Masala.
02:53Now Malvani Masala is something, that of course is found in every Malvani home.
02:58Now every home makes it differently,
03:00the spices kind of differ, the chillies differ,
03:03the ration proportion differs.
03:06And it's different, it's unique to every home, to every kind of family.
03:09Now in case, you do not have Malvani Masala in the house,
03:13basically, like the framework says, it's a combination of Chillies,
03:17Whole Spices, Turmeric. Basic.
03:20So what you can do is, make a combination of Turmeric, Red Chilli Powder,
03:25and Home Ground Garam Masala in a bowl,
03:27and that is your Malvani Masala for this recipe.
03:31But, if you can lay your hands on Malvani Masala,
03:34then of course nothing like it.
03:35Let's begin with Turmeric Powder, in a bowl.
03:39To this, let's add in Red Chilli Powder,
03:42a combination of of course spice and colour.
03:45And along with this, Home Ground Garam Masala.
03:51Let's mix this all together.
03:53And here you have, your literal Malvani Masala, done and ready.
03:57Well, if you see the colour is very similar,
04:00let's add this into the cooking masala here.
04:05Along with this, some freshly cut Coriander Leaves.
04:09And we mix this well.
04:11At this point in time, let's whack the flame on a high,
04:14and continue mixing.
04:16You'll see that the oil now, starts releasing the sides of the pan.
04:21Let's add in Mushrooms of choice, in this case, Button Mushrooms.
04:25Of course, you can keep changing this as per availability and season.
04:29Time to add in Mushroom Stock.
04:36Time to add in Salt, as required.
04:38Now, in case you're wondering, what Mushroom Stock was,
04:42well, very simple, what I do is, or what rather I like doing is,
04:45no cooking of course, no poaching, no boiling, absolutely nothing.
04:48Take Shiitake Mushrooms in their dehydrated form.
04:52Steep a few, take 3-4 of them and steep them in hot water.
04:57The Shiitake, of course, gets pulled out,
04:59you can use that for your wonderful Asian stir-fries and things like that.
05:03What remains is that wonderful golden brown liquid.
05:07Remember, to strain it and put that to use.
05:10Here you have Mushroom Stock in a jiffy.
05:13Don't tell people I told you this recipe.
05:15Let's stir this quickly.
05:16Let's stir this quickly.
05:18And allow this curry to cook till the Mushrooms, of course,
05:21are done to the doneness of your choice.
05:28With this, our Malvani Mushroom Curry is done and ready.
05:32And with this, off goes the flame.
05:33Now, you'd be wondering, what do you serve this with?
05:35Of course, Bhakri is the most quintessential accompaniment to this.
05:40You can also make some Vadas, if you please.
05:43But, if you want to keep things easy and light,
05:45just a bowl of steamed rice, some Kachumber, some Sol Kadhi.
05:49And that's your ticket to Nirvana.
05:52This is me, the Bombay Chef, Varun Inamdar, signing off.
05:55Bye for now.
