Mushroom Anda Phugina and Dahi Kadai

Dahi kadai is one of my favourite items but very very tricky to make. It took me quite a number of tries to get it right. But boy I messed it up so many times and I didn't have anybody to tell me the tricks of making it right. And I am serving it with Mushroom curry with egg mixed in like how you make egg drop soup.

Mushroom Anda Phugina (Mushroom curry with egg stir fry)
Mushroom egg stirfry


Ingredients:
  1. 1 pacage mushrooms sliced into 3 or 4 pieces each
  2. 1/2 cup each of finely chopped onions, tomatoes
  3. 1/2 teaspoon cumin, chilly powder, turmeric, coriander powder, ginger-garlic paste
  4. 1 large or 2 small eggs beaten well with a little salt
  5. 2 tablespoons oil
In a pan heat the oil and fry the cumin till they splutter. Add onions and fry till they become tender. Add tomatoes and mushrooms and fry for 5 minutes. Add ginger-garlic paste and fry for a couple of more minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. Add the beaten egg to the curry and stir well to scramble the egg. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy with rice or roti

Dahi Kadai (Hot Yogurt gravy)

Dahi kadai
Ingredients:
  1. 1 cup plain yogurt beaten or stirred
  2. 2 cup water
  3. 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onions
  4. 1/2 teaspoon each of finely chopped ginger, cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric
  5. 1 tablespoon oil
  6. 1 green chilly finely chopped
  7. 1 dried red chilly broken into pieces, few curry leaves
Mix the yogurt with water and turmeric and add onions and ginger and green chilly pieces to it. Heat it over very low heat like 3 setting on your stove. It takes about 15-20 minutes. make sure you don't boil it or increase the heat else the yogurt will break abd cuddle up.  In a pan heat the oil and fry the cumin and mustard seeds for a couple of minutes. Now add dried chilly and curry leaves and fry for 2-3 minutes. Add this to the yogurt mix and heat it again on low heat for 5 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and let it come to room temparature. Then add salt. Enjoy with hot rice

Add salt only when it cools down a bit else yogurt will cuddle
