Mushroom Peas Bhuththi

Bhuththi is a konkani style preparation which tastes good with plain white rice or dosas.
This is usually prepared with Gherkins/ Tondekai/ Tendle but I tried it with mushrooms and peas. You could substitute chutney with this when you eat your dosas.

Ingredients Used:
1/4 coconut
250 g mushrooms cleaned and cut into big squares
1 cup fresh green peas
1/4 inch tamarind
1 big onion chopped into big squares
1/4 tsp fenugreek/methi seeds
3 tsp coriander seeds
5-6 dry red chillies (byaaDgi variety)
Water for dilution
Salt as per requirement
2 tsp cooking oil
5-6 curry leaves

How to Make:
Dry roast methi and coriander seeds. Grind with grated coconut, red chillies, tamarind and salt into a fine paste(masala).
Warm oil in a frying pan. Add mustard seeds and wait for them to crackle. Then add curry leaves, chopped onions and fry till pink. Next, add mushrooms, peas and little salt. Sauté. After 5 minutes, add the masala, 1/2 cup water and cook for ten minutes on medium flame.
