3 medium onions, chopped (about 1 1/2 cups): Onions form the flavorful base of this dish, adding a natural sweetness and depth as they caramelize.

2 tbsp butter: Butter not only adds richness to the sauce but also helps in sautéing the onions and garlic to golden perfection.

3 cloves garlic, chopped (about 1 tbsp): Garlic adds a pungent, aromatic quality that complements the earthiness of the mushrooms.

200g mushrooms, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups): Mushrooms are the star of this dish, providing a meaty texture and umami flavor.

100ml fresh cream (about 1/2 cup): The cream creates the luxurious, velvety texture that makes this dish so indulgent.

Salt to taste: Essential for enhancing and balancing the flavors of all the ingredients.

1 tsp black pepper powder: Adds a gentle heat and a bit of spice to the creamy sauce.

1 tsp red chili powder: Introduces a subtle kick, elevating the dish with just the right amount of spice.

200ml water (about 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp): Used to thin out the sauce and bring the ingredients together.

1 tbsp cornflour mixed with 1 cup (240ml) water: The cornflour acts as a thickening agent, ensuring the sauce reaches the perfect consistency.

Dry pudina (mint) leaf, crumbled: Mint adds a refreshing, herby note that contrasts beautifully with the richness of the cream.
