When it gets cooled, drain the water and preserve the water. Peel off the Tomato skin and discard. Grind the Tomato and other ingredients into a smooth paste without any water.

Use the same pan. Wipe out any water in it. Heat the remaining Butter in it. Add Shahi jeera and allow it to sizzle. Add chopped Chilli, Ginger Garlic Paste and Bay Leaf.

Stir fry for a few minutes, add the ground Tomato Paste. Add Chilli Powder, Jeera Powder, Dhania Powder, Haldi Powder and Salt.

Cook them till the Oil separates from the masala.

Add the drained water which was preserved earlier. Add more water if necessary. Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes in low to medium flame.

Add the sautéed Mushroom, mix and simmer for another 4 to 5 minutes.
