- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onion
- 1 tbsp freshly grated ginger

Let's Cook!
- Rinse the mushroom caps under running water. Discard the stems and cut the caps into quarters. Place them in a large bowl.
- Heat oil in a wok or kadai over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Toss in cumin seeds and let them sizzle. Then, add the onion and cook until it becomes tender and starts browning slightly, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, green chili, tomatoes, turmeric, and Deggi Mirch. Cook, stirring occasionally, to soften the tomatoes, approximately 3 minutes.
