Mushroom paneer spicy cashew masala/Canned mushroom ricotta cheese gravy/Mushroom recipes for rotis/How to make mushroom paneer curry

Paneer gravy or paneer peas gravy is regular natural dish which people cooks often for rotis as a side dish..But,for a variation I added some mushrooms and used cashews which soaked in milk for 15 minutes..The method of recipe may looks like different with our regualr other gravy dishes.But it wroth trying and it`s a perfect dish for rotis and pulkas.Next time when you have some mushrooms try it with paneer.I used canned mushrooms in this,and you can go with fresh ones but it require time to clean..Spices gives a good taste and bleding onion tomato mix into puree gives such a nice grvay look to the dish.Try this reipe once and hope you like it..Also,if you creative or like experiments try it with almonds instaed of cashews for a change..

Cashew nuts-1 cup

ghee-1-2 tbsp

sugar-1 cup

HOW TO COOK

Soak cashews and  chopped walnuts in water and milk for 1 hour..

Then grind into paste..no need to blend fine..should be light coarse..

Heat a big wide pan with sugar with enough water and let it boil.

When it turns changing like thick syrup add in ground paste and stir fastly..

Add ghee and stir continuously without stoping in medium-low flame.

Slowly mixture turns to thick and hard...When the time you can`t stir more stop flame and leave pan for few minutes..

Now check heat of mixture and apply some ghee to your palms and start making balls.

Arrange them on plate and serve...Can refrigerate for 2 days...

MAHAS NOTES

I added 1/2 cup more sugar.So it was too soft and laddu balls was not stiff in shape.

I recommend to add only 1 cup sugar..

Adding ghee is optional and it `s just for taste..You can add only 1 tbsp.

Prepare syrup thickly and then add ground nuts paste...

Never leave pan and never put high flame.
