They are Vijay&#8217;s (my husband&#8217;s) division. He likes all types of mushrooms and often cooks them himself.  He usually grills or dry saut\u00c3\u00a9s mushrooms but when he is in a mood to spend an extra 5 minutes in the kitchen, he whips up a sesame sauce to go along with his grilled mushrooms. He got this recipe from a Korean website. This sesame sauce is like an Indian version of one of the curry sauces but without the onions and other extras. I like the sauce so when he makes this, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a win-win for both us as I don&#8217;t eat mushrooms.  Preparing this sauce is such an easy and quick task and he makes this himself most of the times without me setting foot in the kitchen.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Portabella mushrooms &#8211; Quickly rinse or wipe of portabellas with a paper towel. Remove the roots and make &#038;#43(plus shape) cuts on them. After lightly covering them with sesame oil, stir-fry or grill them until they are golden and sprinkle with some salt and remove. When saut\u00c3\u00a9ing in a pan, leave space around the mushrooms, so that they brown evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Sauce &#8211; Toast half cup of sesame seeds and 4 to 6 red chilli peppers. Make a fine paste of them by adding a small piece of ginger, salt and molasses or sugar, half teaspoon each or to your taste.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/portabella\/portabella1.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Portabellas, Sesame Seeds, Red Chilli Peppers and Molasses\" \/>&#8230;.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/mahanandi\/images\/portabella\/portabella2.jpg\" class=\"noborder\" alt=\"Grilled Portabella Mushrooms\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Heat a teaspoon of peanut oil in a pan.
