Mushroom Datshi

Method

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and fry the chopped onions until soft and golden. Add minced garlic and ginger, stirring well for one minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and begin to soften. Pour in the water or stock, add turmeric and salt, then bring to a gentle simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in the grated cheese, stirring continuously until it melts completely and creates a creamy sauce. Add the fresh chillies and simmer for another 2-3 minutes without boiling to prevent the sauce from becoming grainy. Finish with fresh coriander and serve immediately as a main course with steamed rice.
