Ingredients

• Large button mushrooms - 8 pieces
• Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) - 100 grams, crumbled
• Fresh spinach - 50 grams, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Clean the mushrooms and carefully remove the stems, creating a hollow space for stuffing.
3. In a skillet, heat ghee over medium heat. Add minced garlic and green chili, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed spinach mixture with crumbled paneer, cumin powder, garam masala, salt, black pepper, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well.
6. Stuff each mushroom cap generously with the paneer mixture.
7. Place the stuffed mushrooms on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. If using, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are tender and the tops are golden brown.
