Cooking on the tava is an age-old custom in the history of Indian food. The tava is used not only for making rotis and parathas but also for preparing delicious dry subzis.

Tava mushroom is one of my favorite recipes that uses basic Mughlai masalas such as coriander powder, cumin seeds powder and kasuri methi.

Serve this versatile dish as a subzi with hot parathas or as a snack with some toast!
