#week2of5"Chhatu Besara" is a traditional delicacy prepared in odia bones almost in all parts of the State of Odisha. The wors 'Chhatu' means mushroom ( normally paddy straw mushroom produced all over Odisha) in odia language. Similarly 'Besara' is the odia used term for the gravy made out of a thick base of the mustard sauce. This dish requires minimal ingredients and is a very easy-to-make-at-home recipe. Owing to the unavailability of the paddy straw mushroom, I've taken button mushroom for the recipe.

#cookpadindiaThis is a purely homemade paste that lasts for a few months without any problem at all. It will neither rot or nor become stale. I always do this and there has been absolutely no problem at all. In this Paste, I use Ginger, Garlic, Salt and Green Chillies. This way it will not only be fresh and green but also tastes great with all the Curries and Gravies. Because of the presence of Green Chillies, it has a vibrant colour and imparts a lovely aroma to the dish as well. However you can skip Green Chillies if you wish. There is no ham in it. The important thing to keep in mind is that it should be stored in a freezer. And whenever required, empty a little in a small glass bottle and refrigerate. The major portion of it has to be stored in a freezer for best results.Happy No Cooking!
