Recipe for easy to make mushroom manchurian.

Ingredients :
Mushroom - 1 packet
Onion- 1 big
Capsicum -1 small
garlic-5-6 cloves
ginger-1/2 inch chopped thin
green chilli -3
coriander leaves -chopped -few
and spring onion chopped -few ( i didnt have it in stock this time)

Soya sauce -2 tsp
Chilli sauce-1/2 tspn
Tomato sauce-1 tspn
oregano -1 pinch
Corn flour -1 & 1/2 tspn dissolved in water ( the quanitity of corn flour can be taken according to your desire for making the gravy very thin/loose or slightly thick. Here in this recipe I used 1 tspn only as I wanted it a medium dry cum thick gravy type)

salt and oil as required

Clean the mushroom taking the individual pieces  and wipe it dry. Cut it only at the time of making.
chop all the vegetables into cubes and keep it ready
Heat a kadai and add the mushrooms now. before that cut into two or four halves depending on the size. Dry roast it till it starts sticking on to the walls of kadai. By doing this it removes the excess water content from the mushroom and also gives it a smoky taste. then pour some oil on top of the mushrooms and saute dry. Now add vegetables one by one and saute till tansluscent. add the sauces one by one and instead of ajinomoto I have used oregano powder to get the flavour.
Finally add the corn flour dissolved in water to this and allow it to boil and get thickened. Adjust the salt level. serve hot
