New Year's Eve spcl- Mushroom Ravioli

Well here's a special recipe for those special occasions, for those interested to make something fancy once in a while.... this will do the magic!

Mushroom Ravioli

Serves 2-3

For the Ravioli- (5 mins)
Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour (maida)
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp oil
Luke warm water

Method:

  • Mix all the dry contents well.
  • Add oil and water to form a nice and soft dough
  • Dust the surface with flour and with a rolling pin stretch out a dough
  • Using a sharp edged cup or something, stencil out discs

For the filling: (5 mins)
1 cup finely chopped mushrooms
1 cup finely chopped capsicum
3 tsp fresh cream
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp oil

Method:
  • Heat oil in a pan, add mushrooms
  • Add salt and pepper and saute for a minute or 2 at high flame
  • Then add capsicum and cream and stir well
  • When the mixture becomes a bit gooey, turn off the heat

Assembling the Ravioli: (3-4 mins)
  •  Best way is to take one of the discs, we prepared and add about 1tsp of the filling in the centre, and close the ends forming a D
  • Another way is to place one disc at the bottom, add filling in the centre and cover this with another disc
  • Ravioli just means a pasta wrapping so there's no hard and fast rule as to how to wrap, be creative! :)

Cooking: (10 mins)
  • Once you have assembled the ravioli's you can steam them.
  • Take a steamer or an idli stand
  • Oil the base and place the ravioli's
  • Put about one glass of water in the steamer and steam for about 10 mins
Mushroom Ravioli all done and trust me its a mouthwatering treat...
