Mushroom Masala Recipe

To make this curry, heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add cloves, black peppercorns, green cardamom and black cardamom in it and fry for a few seconds. 

Once your kitchen fills with the aromas, add chopped onions and fry until they turn translucent. Now add ginger garlic paste and fry until onion turns golden brown. 

Once onions brown, add grated tomatoes and tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add coriander powder, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, garam masala powder, black pepper powder and salt and fry until oil starts to separate from the sides. 

As your onion-tomato base is ready, add chopped mushroom and capsicum cubes and mix well.

Cover the pan and cook the curry on low heat for 10-12 minutes. Stir once or twice in between. If the curry is too dry, add some water to it.

Add lemon juice and mix well. Serve hot with any Indian bread.

This masala gravy can be used to make many dishes. You can replace mushrooms with paneer, soya chunks, or kofta. 

It has the perfect blend of spices that add the perfect amount of heat and make it a delicious dish.
