Method

1. Heat oil and butter in a kadai / pan over medium-high heat. Splutter mustard seeds and fry dried red chilies. Add onion, ginger, garlic, curry leaves and saute for 2 minutes. Add grated coconut and saute for  2 – 3 minutes. Add chilly flakes, mushroom pieces, lemon juice and salt. Cook for 8 – 10 minutes until dry. Add pepper powder and  switch off.

2. Clean a banana/plantain leaf. Place it over flame to make them soft and pliable (vazhayila vaattuka). Wrap the mushroom filling in the banana leaf and tie with a banana string like a parcel so that steam wont escape.

3. Meanwhile fill the steamer / idli cooker with enough water. Bring it to a boil. Place the vazhayila parcel inside the steamer and steam cook for about 8 – 10 minutes (OR bake for 10 – 15 minutes at 350 F). Serve after 5 minutes.
