Mushroom Kathi Roll

I love mushrooms . Their texture , taste as well as the nutty earthy flavour they give to the dish in totality.

They are quite versatile too . They taste amazing in indian cuisine . If you dont find the fresh button mushrooms around you , you can use the tinned ones as well . Just blanch them a little in hot water to get rid of the brine.

These rolls have a Pav bhaji flavor . So feel free to add capsicum to it .

You need:

For Stuffing :

2 cups – Mushrooms, finely chopped ( 2 packets of fresh mushrooms )

1 onion, big, chopped

2-3 Tomatoes, chopped

1 ½ tbsp Ginger garlic paste

1 tsp Coriander powder

1 tsp Jeera powder

1 tsp Red chilli powder

¼ tsp Sugar

Salt to taste

2 tsp Commercial Pav bhaji Masala ( I used Everest )

2 tsp Kasuri Methi, crushed

¼ cup Coriander leaves, chopped

2 tbsp Cream

1 tbsp Oil

2 tbsp Butter

For Rotis :

1 cup Plain flour

½ tbsp cornflour

A pinch of soda bi carb

½ tsp Butter

A pinch of salt

For Garnish:

Onion rings soaked in Lemon juice and some salt with some coriander leaves.

How to:

Knead the dough for the rotis and cover it with a muslin cloth and keep aside for ½ hr.

In a pan, heat the oil and butter. Add the chopped onions , ginger garlic paste and sauté till browning starts.

Add the tomatoes and sauté till soft and cooked.

Add in the kasuri methi , pav bhaji masala, coriander powder, jeera powder, red chilli powder and salt.

Cook till oil seperates . Add in the mushrooms and cook till the water evaporates.

Add in the cream and the chopped coriander leaves.

The recipe calls for a maida roti as the base to this roll . But you can totally use a wholewheat roti instead. It tastes superb too. ( So you can save some calories too 🙂 )

Roll out the rotis as thin as possible and cook them on a tava .Spoon in the mushroom mixture. Top with the onion rings.
