#heirloomMexican Tinga is a dish made with shredded chicken in a sauce made from tomatoes, chipotle chilis in adobo, and sliced onions. It is often served on a tostada and accompanied by a layer of refried beans.I have my own fusion of it and twisted it completely .I remember my Mom used to twist the recipes: those that are non satvik she would turn into satvik. During Navratri (Indian goddess worship for 9 days and only satvik meal is served, which means no meats). And now I cherish my mom's tricks with my kids as well. When they have craving for it I make this for them in many ways. Here I am sharing one of it. This is my version:

Mushroom tinga Mushroom tinga
The inspiration for this dish came about while rewatching Netflix's the Final Table. If you've never seen it, stream it now. It's a glorious hour of food porn, as well as a nice change from the petty rivalries you see in a lot of other competitive cooking shows (seriously, Netflix, when are you gonna drop season 2?). Anyway, in one episode, Taco King Esdras Ochoa made a variation on tinga using artichoke instead of the traditional chicken. It got me curious -- what exactly is tinga? After surfing the 'net a bit for more info, I decided to give it a go myself, except with mushrooms (I guessed they'd be a good substitute for meat). Once done, I piled the tinga onto some freshly steamed rice and topped the lot with a nice, runny egg. I don't know how authentic the end result was (not very, I'm guessing), but regardless it was totally delicious. And in the end, that's what matters.

Finished with a dash of soy sauce and black pepper, Ginisang Togue is a wholesome, comforting choice served best with steamed white rice.
