81> mushroom & spinach cream sauce

mushroom and spinach cream sauce is a recipe which i made some days back. since nowadays i am living with an international group of people, i come across many recipes that i would have never even thought of cooking… all to do with my indian cooking background.

these recipes use simple ingredients… simple methods and you have a healthy and great meal ready. though our dinner is mostly indian, we do cook food from different cuisines for lunch. i have learnt a great deal from my spanish friend S and my portuguese friend M. plus also some tibetan and russian food from some other friends

now sharing with you all an italian recipe. just made this recipe from scratch without looking on internet or anywhere. since now i have an understanding of how food is made and eaten in some countries and cultures, it was easy to make this recipe.

i have had some amazing italian food here and so now know what goes into the makings of an italian recipe. i knew a few italian recipes before, but have learnt a great deal now. this italian recipe is of creamy mushroom spinach sauce. i had earlier made a similar recipe to this one but instead of spinach and basil, i had added dill leaves.

this recipe is easy and quick. these kind of creamy recipes taste great with pasta, noodles, lasagna. since we had made some rice we had the creamy mushroom spinach sauce with rice.
mushroom and spinach cream sauce recipe below:

82>mushroom caldin
mushroom caldin recipe – a vegetarian as well as vegan version of the popular goan bright yellow curry generally made with fish.

fish caldin as well as veg caldin is often served in the shacks and restaurants in goa. i once had a veg caldin at a beach shack and it was bad. no flavors, no balance and no taste…. wondered who made it.

mom makes fish as well as prawns caldin often at home. being goans, they are fish eaters, so fish is often served on the menu. i use my mom’s caldin recipe to make veg or mushroom caldin at home. my north indian family loves this mushroom curry to the core. so much so that i often get requests to make this. this curry is not spicy and can even be made for kids.

here i have used coconut milk, both thin and thick milk. you can also use grated coconut and make the curry. to give a hint of sourness to the curry, we always add tamarind. in the absence of tamarind you can add vinegar or lime juice.

as this is a curry, it goes best with some steamed rice. its also great with some soft bread or rolls. the bread soaks up the curry and its yummm when you eat a slice of bread and in no time you will end up finishing the curry as well as the bread. the curry can also be had with chapatis or parathas.

i served mushroom caldin with garlic bread and steamed rice. accompanying the curry you can also serve a side vegetable dish or a salad.

even with veggies like cauliflower, peas, carrots, french beans etc the caldin curry tastes very good. so you can make this coconut based curry with veggies of your choice as well as mushrooms or mixed varieties of mushrooms

veg mushroom caldin recipe - coconut milk based goan mushroom curry. flavorful and non spicy.

recipe type: main
cuisine: goan, indian
serves: 4
ingredients (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)
main ingredients:
200-250 gms button mushrooms, rinsed and quartered
¼ cup chopped onion, chopped
1 medium sized tomato - quartered
2 cups thin coconut milk & 1 cup thick coconut milk (you can also substitute coconut milk with ¾ or 1 cup fresh grated coconut)
2 tbsp oil
salt as required
for the masala curry paste:
2-3 garlic/lahsun
½ inch ginger/adrak
¼ cup roughly chopped onion
2-3 red chilies
1 tsp seedless tamarind/imli
1 tsp cumin seeds/jeera
2 tsp coriander seeds
¼ or ½ tsp turmeric powder/haldi

how to make the recipe:
first grind all the ingredients mentioned under masala curry paste to a smooth fine paste with some water.
if using grated coconut instead of coconut milk, then grind the coconut also with the rest of the masala curry paste ingredients.
keep the ground curry paste aside.
heat oil in a pot. fry onions till transparent.
add tomatoes and fry for 2-3 minutes.
now add the mushrooms. stir and saute the mushrooms.
first the mushroom will ooze out water and the whole mixture will become slightly watery.
continue to saute till the water dries up and oil starts to leaves the sides of the mushroom mixture.
now add the ground masala paste and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
first add the thin coconut milk and simmer the curry for 5-6 minutes.
season with salt.
addition of thin coconut milk first will help in avoiding splitting of the thick coconut milk which we add later.
lastly add the thick coconut milk and let the curry come to one boil. switch off the fire.
serve the mushroom caldin hot with some steamed rice or bread/rolls or goan bread.

notes
if grated coconut is added to make the masala curry paste, then add 2 to 2.5 cups water to give a curry like consistency. you can adjust the consistency of the mushroom caldin curry as per your needs.

ingredients (measuring cup used, 1 cup = 250 ml)
200-250 gms button mushrooms
1 large onion or 2 medium sized onions
2-3 green chilies
½ tsp cumin powder
¼ tsp turmeric powder

how to make the recipe:
rinse and chop the mushrooms.
slice the onions thinly.

84>mushroom fried rice

mushroom fried rice recipe – an indo chinese recipe of fried rice with mushrooms. easy to cook and too good to taste.

one of those quick stir fried rice dishes that i love to make, especially when i have fresh celery at home. i cannot stress enough the flavors that celery bring into a chinese dish and i always recommend to use them when making any indo chinese food at home.

if you do not have celery, then you can easily replace coriander/cilantro with celery. the flavors which coriander will impart will surely be different, still the rice would taste great.

mushroom fried rice recipe is simple and can be quick too if you have some leftover rice. the whole dish is stir fried at a high flame and thats what imparts a restaurant like flavor in this dish. a lot of handwork is required when making this recipe. best is to use a wok or a pan with handles as when the heat becomes too high, you just lift the pan from the fire and then again keep it back while stir frying the ingredients by shaking the pan. few more similar recipes on blog are veg fried rice, schezwan fried rice and paneer fried rice recipe.

another suggestion is to use a naturally fermented soy sauce, that imparts the typical fermented flavor & taste to the rice. i have used kikkoman soy sauce here.

this mushroom fried rice can be had plain or accompanied with indo chinese vegetable side dish likeveg balls in hot garlic sauce, veg manchurian or sweet and sour vegetables.

after the initial steam passes from the rice, cover the colander with a lid.
let the rice cool completely before you add it to the mushrooms.
heat oil in a wok or kadai. add the garlic and onions first and stir fry for 2 mins on a high flame.
then add the chopped mushrooms and stir fry for 5-6 mins or more on a high flame till the mushrooms begins to get lightly browned from the edges.
first the whole mixture will become watery as mushrooms will release water and slowly slowly the water will evaporate and you will see oil floating in the mixture.
when the mushrooms start to become lightly browned, then add the celery and stir fry for a minute.
add soy sauce, black pepper and salt.
stir and then add the rice. stir gently but briskly. stir fry the rice for 2-3 minutes.
serve the mushroom fried rice hot garnished with celery or spring onion greens with a side indo chinese vegetable dish like veg balls in hot garlic sauce, sweet and sour vegetables, veg manchurian.

86>cream of mushroom soup

cream of mushroom soup recipe – beginning the new year with a soup recipe. soups make rare appearances on my blog. but when they do, i make sure they are equally good. so when you guys make them at home, you are able to enjoy them as much as we do.

i generally don’t make creamy soups from any veggie. most of the times i end up making our family favorites – tomato soup and sweet corn soup. for the first time i made this cream of mushroom soup. it was a hit with us and also with our neighbors.

i checked a lot of recipes online and could not make up my mind. there are many many ways this recipe is made. since i am kind of purist when it comes to food, i searched on wikipedia. i have followed the basic way the cream of mushroom is made using my own proportions, with just a slight alteration in the technique. instead of adding the cooked mushrooms to the soup later, i have sauted the mushrooms first and then made the whole soup in one pot.

so this one pot soup recipe is an easy and quick way of making cream of mushroom soup. the result was a creamy smooth soup comforting in the winters. i paired the soup with peas pulao and a vegetable salad.

to make the roux (flour and butter cooked together), i have used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour/maida. both of them help in thickening in the soup and you can use the one which you prefer. chicken stock is not used in this recipe. you can use veg stock instead of water if you have ready veg stock at home.

87>creamy mushroom pasta

creamy mushroom pasta recipe – a continental style mushroom and pasta in a creamy sauce. one of those dishes that i end up making sometimes on fancy and the results are too good.

on some days i just don’t want to cook anything indian, like dal, sabzi and roti. so i make dishes which are not that commonly made in my home. in fact as much as i love european and continental cuisine, there are no takers in the family for these… and pasta is a no no most of the times.

but this recipe was an exception. even the husband who is not that fond of pasta loved this dish. however, slowly slowly we are moving from a family of people loving indian food to loving & relishing food from other cuisines and cultures.

to make this creamy mushroom pasta, you don’t have to make the white sauce separately. the sauce is made during the cooking process…

making this recipe is a one pot or one pan meal. towards the end i topped with cheddar cheese and then baked for the cheese to melt. if you don’t have an oven you don’t need to do this last step. just top the mushroom pasta with some grated cheese and serve hot.

apart from mushrooms, i have also used yellow bell pepper. this is however, optional. you can also add some cooked corn or baby corn or steamed broccoli, carrots, cauliflower in the recipe.

i served this creamy mushroom pasta with tomato soup and with some warm toasted brown bread. you can have this mushroom pasta without any accompaniment also.
