Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Wash and drain the mushrooms. If you want, you can quarter the mushrooms.
  • Peel pearl onions. Or, if you are using onions, peel and slice them thin.
  • Wash and peel ginger and garlic and crush using a mortar & pestle.
  • In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, tomato ketchup, turmeric powder and lemon juice.

Cooking

  • Heat oil in the saute pan over heat.
  • Add fennel seeds. When they crackle, add the pearl onions and saute till they turn translucent. At this stage, add the crushed ginger and garlic and saute well.
  • When the pearl onions start to caramelize, add the soy sauce mix (that was made in the preparation step) and pepper powder and combine it well with the pearl onions.
  • Add the mushrooms and mix well to coat. Saute for a minute or two.
  • The mushrooms will start to release water and will acquire a shine. Saute for another 5-7 minutes till the mushrooms are cooked to desired level.
  • Add the curry leaves and saute for another minute.
  • Serve hot with steamed rice.

Notes

1. If I find small button mushrooms, I use them as a whole. If the mushrooms are big, then you can quarter them before using in the recipe. [br]2. Time Saving Tip: You can quarter the mushrooms while the onions are being sauteed. [br]3. The pearl onions, add a slight sweetness to the dish. If you do not like the taste of caramelized pearl onions, use thinly sliced onions. [br]4. If the pearl onions are big, they might take longer to caramelize than the time indicated in the recipe.
