Kashmiri Saag Haddar Yakhni /Kashmiri Style Mushroom in Spinach -Yogurt Sauce

Kashmiri cuisine is still quite a unknown cuisine for me. Actually i rarely cooked from this cuisine, however blogsphere pulled me to explore this cuisine. I have already two - three dishes from this cuisine. However for this month's Shh Cooking Secretly, a monthly event started by me, which is now hosted by Mayuri Patel we are cooking from Kashmiri Cuisine. Every month we are exploring different regional cuisine of India. After Himachali cuisine, this month's event goes for Kashmiri cuisine. You might know about the concept of this event, actually every month the members of this Facebook group get paired with an another member. Both discuss together secretly to get their two secret ingredients and cook with. Obviously we cook with those two ingredients and share our picture in the group, so that the other members pariticpate to guess the ingredients. Its quite an interesting play and this concept works awesome. We love to find out the ingredients though sometimes its quite a hard task.

Kashmiri Saag Haddar Yakhni ,Kashmiri Mushroom in Spinach Sauce

Kashmiri Saag Haddar Yakhni is a lipsmacking masala dish to serve with rotis, actually Saag means green vegetable while haddar is mushroom and obviously Yakhni is curd. Since my partner of this month is Avin S Kohli of The Yellow Daal gave me both Mushroom and curd as my two secret ingredients i looked for a Kashmiri dish, and as usual google master helped me a lot to spot out this dish from Jinoo's Kitchen. I was seriously happy to find a very prefect dish to dish out with my two secret ingredients and tried my hands in making this ultimate masala. A prefect pair for rotis and everyone at home enjoyed this lipsmacking green masala thoroughly with rotis. Quite a flavourful dish to make at home if you have mushrooms in your vegetable basket.

I LOVE Kashmiri cuisine. I often cook some of the popular non veg Kashmiri dishes but I'm not very familiar with the vegetarian side of the cuisine, except for dum aloo or a few paneer dishes. This is a delicious addition to my food vocabulary. I'm sure it tastes as amazing as it looks!

I never cooked spinach and mushroom together. This gray looking really mouthwatering. Your mushroom pieces looking intact and still cooked properly. How come?? Mine becomes meshed up as soon as all water comes out from mushroom. Bookmarking.

A cracker of a dish with a great mix of ingredients and aromatics. I tend to eat a lot of spinach and this dish will be a very welcome addition to my repertoire of palak gravies.
