Khumbh ki Subz
by Tarla Dalal
Mushrooms in a rich and flavourful cashew-onion base imbibe the flavour of the whole spices and spice powders that they are cooked with. Appropriate amounts of curd and milk are used to give this Khumbh ki Subz a rich and attractive texture, and to balance the flavour of the spices.
You will be amazed by how easy it is to cook this lip-smacking subzi in the Microwave . Take care to cook the cashews and onions for a whole five minutes before blending them, to get a strong and appetizing aroma.
