Mushroom Jhatpat Masala

Sorry.. this one got eaten away before I could think of taking a pic..
Here's the recipe, specially for all those of my friends who tasted it on the lunch table today in office -

1 packet mushrooms (nicely cleaned and chopped into small cubes)
3 medium onions (finely chopped)
1/2 tsp jeera seeds
2 tbsp curd
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1 heaped tsp Meat masala (I used Everest)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Chopped coriander leaves to garnish

Heat some oil (used olive oil here) in a kadhai, add jeera. When it changes color, add onions, and cook till almost brown. Add the masalas, ginger garlic paste, and saute for a minute. Add the curd and mix well. Then add the mushrooms, salt and cover and cook for 10 mins or until done, stirring every 2-3 minutes. Finally, garnish with coriander leaves.
Enjoy!

Dim Dal Fry

This one's one of my favourites, and my mil likes it a lot too..

Pressure cook 1 cup of whole moong dal, with a pinch of turmeric.
In a vessel, heat some ghee. For tempering add garlic, ginger, jeera, hing, red chillies, chopped onions, chopped tomatoes and coriander powder. Add the dal, enough water and bring to boil. Finally add salt, lemon juice / amchur to taste (optional), and chopped coriander leaves.
