To achieve the perfect sauce consistency, mix 1 tablespoon of cornflour with 240ml of water until smooth. Gradually pour this mixture into the pan while stirring continuously. As the sauce heats, it will begin to thicken, creating a smooth, glossy coating over the mushrooms. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce has reached your desired thickness.
Finish with Mint:
Crumble the dry pudina (mint) leaf over the creamy mushroom mixture and stir it in. The mint adds a refreshing, slightly sweet flavor that balances the richness of the dish. It’s an unexpected twist that elevates the overall taste, making it even more memorable.
Serve:
Serve the creamy mushrooms hot, garnished with a little extra mint if desired. This dish pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. You can serve it over steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or even pasta. It’s also delicious with a side of crusty bread, perfect for soaking up every bit of the creamy sauce.
Tips for Perfect Creamy Mushrooms:
Choosing Mushrooms: While this recipe uses common mushrooms, feel free to experiment with other varieties like cremini, portobello, or shiitake. Each type of mushroom brings its unique flavor and texture, adding depth to the dish.
Cream Alternatives: If you prefer a lighter sauce, you can substitute the fresh cream with half-and-half, or even a dairy-free cream alternative for a vegan version. Coconut cream can add an interesting flavor twist as well.
Herb Variations: While mint adds a unique freshness, you can also use fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary for a different flavor profile. Each herb brings its own character to the dish.
Cooking Mushrooms: Ensure that you cook the mushrooms until all the moisture has evaporated. This step is crucial for developing the rich, concentrated flavor that makes this dish so delicious.
