I had this dish in Luxembourg in this Nepali restaurant called Himalaya. It was my favorite Indian restaurant while I lived there.Being a mushroom fan, this dish goes so well with rice or with roti. Photos to follow...

sour cream- 2 tablespoon
red chilli powder, garam masala, coriander powder- 2 tablespoons each
turmeric powder- 1 teaspoon
salt to taste
cilantro- 2 tabelspoons cut
vegetable oil- 1/4 cup

Method:
heat oil in a wok. Add the mushrooms to oil and let it cook without touchign it for 4 minutes, so its browns on one side. Then saute it and add onions and saute for 3-5 minutes until onions r translucent. Add garlic and ginger and all the powders. Add a teaspoon salt and saute all these for abt 2-3 min.
