This healthy stir-fry dish is easy to prepare, writes Pushpesh Pant
Idhar jaun ya udhar jaun? Finally, one fine morning we resolved the conflict by not only buying both but also cooking the too together for breakfast. We report with great pleasure that the phulka paired with khumb-hari pyaaz jugalbandi was a dazzling success — putting to shame the much-hyped mushrooms on toast. To be honest, the idea is not original. We had first tasted the delicacy in an eatery across the Yamuna river where a young chef was trying to impress the diners with innovations. That version was more confusion than fusion — mindlessly borrowing from ‘taka tin’ tawa entertainment and transplanting unmatched elements from korma a la frying pan. The taste and colour of makhni gravy drowned the delicate flavour of the poor veggies. In our view the subtle mushrooms be left alone as far as possible. This recipe for a combo stir-fry is quick cooking, healthy and extremely refreshing with a wonderful eye appeal. ‘Just do it’ even if you aren’t the type who succumbs to great ad campaigns.
