Ever stepped inside a typical North Indian restaurant, and didn’t see Kadhai paneer or Kadhai chicken on the menu? Neither have we. The word ‘Kadhai’ refers to a wok or a heavy bottom pan, in which these dishes are prepared with heaps of ground spices and veggies like onion, capsicum and tomatoes. It is tossed so many times over with all the masalas that the dish often obtains a beautiful reddish-brown hue. Speaking of the masalas, these dishes thrive on the spices uses and the medley of veggies that are there not only for the flavour but also their juiciness and crunch. You can add anything to this masala; chicken and paneer are usual suspects. You can also add mushroom to this masala and have your very own ‘Kadhai mushroom’. This recipe is ideal for a delish, desi lunch or dinner. You may have used mushrooms in your salads, omelettes and pasta – but its texture is such that it blends very well with all cuisines.
