So, here are some of the recipes i came up with recently.

(Mushrooms will figure prominently in this post given that i had to finish off quite a few)

Please note, i dont generally use fixed quantities because I have no fixed quantity myself.

Water Chestnuts & Mushrooms in Garlic butter

About 18-20 water chestnuts, peeled and washed

1 packet Mushrooms 12-15

Garlic, Ginger - Finely chopped, very little

Butter,

Salt, pepper, red Chilli powder

Destem the mushrooms if the stem is dry, or you can use them with the stem.

This depends on your judgement

Halve the mushrooms and keep aside

Make sure that the water chestnuts are properly peeled and no traces of the covering remain since it is tricky to get right

Heat some butter in a non stick pan till it melts completely.

Add the water chestnuts to the pan, and let them roast a little bit, till they start colouring up.

Add a little bit of the chopped ginger and garlic to the butter, along with the mushrooms.

Cover the pan and let it cook for a while. Make sure not to stir the mushrooms until they turn a proper brown or they will release all their water n shrink.

Once the mushrooms are cooked, add salt, pepper and red chilli powder to taste.
Garnish with Coriander

Serve hot/warm.
