Cafreal is basically a Goan cuisine made with chicken and called chicken cafreal. The main ingredient is cafreal masala which includes fresh coriander leaves, whole garam masala, ginger, garlic, lemon juice etc. Here I have substituted chicken with mushrooms.
Ingredients
15 button mushrooms
5 tsp oil
Salt to taste
For the masala:
1/2 cup chopped coriander leaves
1/2 inch ginger
6 garlic cloves
2-3 green chillies
1 tsp cumin seeds/ jeera
1 lavaang
1/2 inch cinnamon/ dalchini
4-5 peppercorns
1 tsp lemon juice
Make a smooth paste and keep it aside.
Procedure
Wash mushrooms and cut into halves. Marinate with salt and ground masala paste.
Refrigerate it for 30 mins. After 30 mins heat oil and put in the marinated mushrooms.
Cook till mushrooms are done or till it becomes dry
Originally this is a dry dish but you can prepare according to your taste.
Serve hot with ghee rice or hot steamed rice and enjoy.
