It just felt like sharing a nice and comfy meal today, because it’s really cold.
And also holiday season is all over my head.
What does a cold weather call for? A cozy meal.
And what a festive season calls for? A festive meal.
So what if I bring the best combo of these two? Wouldn’t that be great?
I know it would be amazing. Most of us are in need of a good, easy and classic dinner menu. Believe me, the dish which I am sharing today would glorify your dinner table.
The following text is for all my fellow FOOD bloggers and FOOD writers:
Food, food, and food is all we think about all day long. We dream about the dishes we need to make and the list seems endless every time. This passion is actually one thing very common in all of us.
I assume food brings people together, and when you share food with someone, you not only share the FOOD but you share a lot of love and emotions connected with that food. Agree? And that is what I love the most about being a food blogger.
As soon as the holiday season starts, I start to get a bit anxious.
Really, thinking about one-holiday thing after another gives me anxiety, because I have so many recipes to share for a particular festive season and it’s really the hardest job to decide on a recipe which should be published first, and which ones can wait for sometime.
And that makes me feel that I don’t have enough time to share all the fun recipes I have come up with. Seriously, sometimes I get really confused.
Now, about today’s marvelous dish: Let me tell you, this Shahi Kadai Mushroom is one of those recipes which has waited long enough to come here because I was waiting for the PERFECT time to share this. But there is no wrong time for doing the right thing.
And I think this is the right thing to do today. Now is the time to share is long awaited post.
So that clearly means today I am sharing a perfect combo of a cozy + festive dish. And the name of this awesome dish is ‘Shahi Kadai Mushroom’.
The word ‘Shahi’ means royal. ‘Kadai’ or ‘kadahi’ is a thick, circular, and deep cooking-pot which is similar to a wok. And that’s why this dish is called Shahi Kadai Mushroom — which is a royal mushroom curry prepared in a wok.
Kadai dishes are my favorite and Mushroom dishes are my favorite too.
We all need easy peasy meals. And if you need a quick, easy and irresistible curry to satiate your hunger pangs then just go for it. This curry is just so simple and easy and so flavorful.
This is a super festive dish. But as a treat, you can even make this curry if your guests are coming over for dinner. The aroma of spices cooked on a medium heat with tomatoes and cream certainly makes it undeniably delicious! You can certainly have the same Indian restaurant taste at home. Because this is such an exceptionally awesome dish. It’s such a classic curry to add to the festive menu.
I have seen people who don’t like a mushroom at all, but they are crazy for Kadai mushroom. Shhhh, don’t tell Abhishek that I am talking about him here! 😉
Here’s what to do. First, saute button mushrooms, and then saute bell pepper and onions. Then make a classic and creamy tomato gravy, which is sweet and spicy. So it’s cooked in a semi dry gravy of spiced and tangy tomato sauce along with bell peppers.
If you don’t like eating hot curries then simply omit green chili and pepper powder. You can also adjust the amount of Kashmiri red chili powder.
The reason I am using Kashmiri red chili powder is that it adds a beautiful color to any dish, but if you don’t find Kashmiri red chili powder at an Asian grocery store, then you can surely use regular chili powder.
The curry is spicy, but sweet and tangy too. Oh! I love such dishes with the combo of spicy + sweet + tangy.
So the point is, this shahi mushroom curry is awesome and I really wish you make it. And this time making curry would be much easier because I am sharing a video recipe along with this post, with simple steps which you can simply follow to make this rich and classic curry.
Make it and do let me know how it turns out. Because I really want you to make it. So cook this curry whenever you feel like. And for this scenario of the festive season knocking, the sooner the better. 🙂
