Mushroom Chutney

Mushroom Chutney

This is my Daughter's Recipe. She has lot of food allergies and she has lot of limitations. She is not allergic to mushrooms, but she just dosen't like to eat Mushrooms in any form, however you cook them, she just won't eat. Then one fine evening, she came up to me, and she asked me try mushroom chutney for her, she thought of this recipe and I tried it for her, and guess what, VIOLA....she eats mushrooms now, but only in the form of mushroom chutney....

I just added some extra ingredients in it later for my hubby.

So here is Meha's famous Mushroom Chutney Recipe:

1 cup of chopped Mushrooms (the small white ones are really good and earthy).

1 small chopped onion

1/2 chopped tomato (small)

1 tsp. Cumin seeds(dry Roasted)

1 and 1/2 tsp. Coriander powder

1 tsp. Urad dal (dry roasted)

1 tsp. Dalia (roasted channa dal)

2-3 curry leaves

1 tsp. roasted peppercorns

Salt to taste

Tempering:

2-3 tsp. oil

pinch Hing

1 tsp. mustard seeds

1 tsp. cumin seeds

1 tsp. Urad dal

cury leaves

Red chilli flakes

Procedure:

Fry the chopped mushrooms, onions and tomato in 2 tsp. oil. Then blend it finely with Cumin seeds, Urad dal, dalia, curry leaves and peppercorns. Add salt as per taste.

then temper the chutney. Add water as per the thickness you want for the chutney. It goes very well with plain hot white Rice ans ghee on it or you could have it with Idli.

Thanks to my Daughter for this wonderful Recipe.

Chiku Kulfi

Chiku Kulfi

Ingredients

1 can of condensed milk

Vit D Milk 500 ml.

1 packet of frozen Sapota/chiku

8 oz. of Whipped topping/whipping Cream

Procedure:

Boil the 500ml. Vit D (full fat milk), for over an hour, on low flame till it thickens up. Once it is cool, add the chiku pieces, and blend it.(keep the frozen packet of Sapota for thawing 1/2 an hour before blending).

Next, add 8 oz. of whipped topping or u can add heavy whipping cream (1 pint -11/2 pint). Blend it thoroughly. Then, gradually add 1/2 a can of the condensed milk, blend it, taste the prepared mixture, if it is still not sweet enough, add some more condensed milk till it reaches the sweetness of the Kulfi/Ice cream. After thoroughly blending it, freeze it for 3 hrs., again, blend it, and re-freeze it, till the Kulfi or Ice-cream is formed.

Blending it after 3 hrs., makes the Ice-cream more creamier, but again its optional, you can always pass on it.

Please Note: You can always add sugar while boiling the milk and avoid the condensed milk completely.

In the same manner, you can make malai Kulfi, mango kulfi and Pista kulfi....
