- Add thinly sliced Onion and fry till it turns into brown color. No compromise on this. Fry well.
- Then add cut Mushroom and fry well for 4 to 5 minutes. Add oil if required.
- Cover the pan with a lid. Keep it in low flame for 2 to 3mins.
- Sauté it for a minute. Then add Turmeric powder, Chili powder, Coriander powder, Chicken or Mutton masala powder and Salt. Fry till the smell of masala goes. Add oil if necessary.
- Once the smell of masalas goes, add a cup of water and cover the pan with a lid.
