Sauté the Onions:
Begin by heating the butter in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the chopped onions. Stir them occasionally, allowing them to cook until they become translucent and start to brown around the edges. This process typically takes about 5-7 minutes and is crucial for building the deep, savory flavor base of the dish.
Add Garlic and Mushrooms:
After the onions have softened and caramelized, stir in the chopped garlic. Sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant. Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the pan. Mushrooms release a lot of moisture as they cook, so continue to stir them until they have softened and their juices have evaporated. This step usually takes about 5-6 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to become tender and slightly golden.
Season the Mushrooms:
Once the mushrooms are cooked through, it’s time to season them. Sprinkle in the salt, black pepper powder, and red chili powder. Stir well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed throughout the dish. The combination of spices adds a layered flavor profile, with the black pepper providing warmth and the chili powder adding a subtle heat.
Create the Creamy Sauce:
Pour in the fresh cream, stirring it into the mushroom mixture until well combined. The cream transforms the dish, making it rich and luscious. Then, add the 200ml of water to the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. The cream should thicken slightly as it heats, coating the mushrooms in a silky sauce.
