Masala Mushroom Recipe
Masala Mushroom Recipe is a flavourful Indian dish made using fresh mushrooms cooked in a spiced onion and tomato masala. This Masala Mushroom Recipe tastes rich, mildly spicy, and deeply satisfying with soft mushrooms coated in thick masala. I made this Masala Mushroom Recipe after watching a home style cooking video where it was prepared traditionally.
Equipment
- Frying pan or kadai
- Cutting board
- Knife
- Spatula
- Measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 200 g button or cremini mushrooms cleaned and sliced
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 medium tomato finely chopped or pureed
- ½ tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder adjust to taste
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp garam masala powder
- Salt to taste
- ½ tsp cumin seeds
- 1 green chili finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves chopped
Instructions
Heat The Oil
- Place a pan on medium heat, add oil, then add cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and release their aroma.
Cook The Onions And Spices
- Add chopped onions and green chili. Cook until the onions turn light golden. Add ginger garlic paste and saute for about 30–40 seconds until the raw smell disappears.
Make The Masala
- Add chopped or blended tomatoes along with turmeric, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the masala thickens and oil begins to separate.
Add The Mushrooms
- Mix in the sliced mushrooms. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring now and then, until the mushrooms soften and release their juices.
Finish And Serve
- Sprinkle garam masala, give it a gentle mix, and cook uncovered for 1–2 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot.
