How To Make chau ko tarkaari (mushroom curry-nepal)

    Heat oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat and stir in dry mustard, fenugreek and chives. Fry about 5 seconds.
  • Step 3
    Add onion, green chilies, garlic, ginger, turmeric and asafetida. Fry until onion softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Add mushrooms, coriander, cumin, salt and cayenne and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has cooked off from mushrooms, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 5
    Serve.
