Ingredients (Serves 3)
1. Coconut oil – 2 tsp + butter – 2 tsp
2. Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Dried red chilies – 2, broken
3. Onion – 1/4 cup, finely chopped
Ginger – 1/4 tsp, finely chopped
Garlic – 2, minced
Curry leaves – A few
Crushed chilly flakes – 1/2 tsp
4. Grated coconut – 3/4 cup or as required
5. Mushroom – 250 gm, sliced or chopped
6. Lemon juice – 1 tsp
7. Pepper powder – 1 – 2 pinches
8. Salt – To taste
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.
