Mushroom Masala


Mushroom masala is one of my favorite food. It has slightly more spices and masala than other vegetables and tastes better with that. It looks good, tastes good and is easy to cook so a perfect option if you have guests coming over. :)


Mushroom Masala

Mushrooms - 500 gm
Peas - 1 cup
Onion - 1 medium chopped
Tomato - 1 medium chopped
Green chillies - 2 chopped
Ginger - garlic paste - 2-3 teaspoons
Oil - as required
Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
Garam Masala - 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder - 1/2 teaspoon
Dried Fenugreek leaves (kastoori methi) - 1 teaspoon

Slice mushrooms and heat in boiling water for 5-10 minutes.  

Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds and add green chillies. Stir-fry for few seconds and add chopped onion. When onion becomes translucent, add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 5 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until the mixture reduces to a pulp.
