Mushroom being our family favourite, I pick them from the market whenever I see fresh ones. Mushroom Biryani is my fav anytime! Sorry for the delay in posting this kadai mushroom masala even after putting it up in coming soon section since last week. Just blame it on the priority of the vada recipe for pongal festival. Now am finally here with this recipe.....

Kadai Mushroom Masala - IngredientsCooking Time:30 mins Serves:2
Cleaned Mushroom - 1 cup chopped
Capsicum - 1 chopped
Onion - 1 chopped finely
Tomato puree - from 3 small sized tomatoes
Jeera - 1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Garam masala powder
Ginger garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Kasuri methi / Dried fenugreek leaves - 1/2 tsp
Red Chillies - 1
Coriander leaves - 2 tsp chopped finelyp
Oil - 3 tsp

1.Clean mushroom as shown in the link, slice it and keep aside.Heat oil, add jeera allow it to crackle then add red chillies and fry for a minute.Add onions, ginger garlic paste and saute till onions turn slightly browned.

2.Next add the capsicum, saute well retaining its crunchiness.Then add the tomato puree and fry for 3-4 mins till raw smell leaves.Then add the chilli, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder ,garam masala powder and required salt - mix well and fry for few mins.


3.Add little water if its very thick.Add the mushroom and mix gently until well combined.


4.Simmer for 3 mins and keep closed so that the mushroom gets cooked, becomes soft and nicely blended with the gravy. Once the mushroom gets soft,Simmer for 2 mins then add kasoori methi, coriander leaves and switch it off.

This gravy is close to the kadai paneer recipe and goes well with chapathis or even plain rice and dhal.I confidently wanted to try after trying out kadai paneer and it didnt disappoint us.This is the first time I am trying kadai mushroom masala, I didnt refer to any specific recipe but googled here and there and made up my mind to go with a recipe which is close to the kadai paneer recipe I posted earlier :)

My Notes:
- You can even grind redchillies with tomato and coriander seeds and then add as I did for kadai paneer, gives a fresh flavour.
- This is medium spicy with the measurement I have given. You can adjust according to your taste buds.

Thanks :))
Ur kadai mushroom masala is a hit at my place Sharmi, I have made it may times now.
ReplyDeleteI like your recipes. As I'm about to cook this one, i found that coriander powder is in the ingredients list but missed out in the method. It should be added with all other powders.
ReplyDeletesorry, I don't mean to highlight a little mistake. Just for the benefit of everyone !
@Sakusi: Np, I have missed it and am glad that readers are noting it down and letting me know....Now have updated it,Thank u! :)

ReplyDeleteYesterday i tried this recipe and it came out very well.The main garnishing ingredient is kasoori methi i felt.
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the efforts you have put in to document in detail. I tried this dish yesterday and it really came well. Thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteWe have tried it out. Excellent recipe. Thanx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe. I was able to make it very easily. Just a word of caution. please do not add too much tomatoes. Else it will make the dish undesirably tingy with tomato flavor.
ReplyDeleteI used 3 small tomatoes and it was not tangy as the spice powders compensated....I forgot to mention the tomatoes as small now updated :)
DeleteGood one... Loved the mushroom recipe :)
ReplyDeleteLovely mushroom recipe..
ReplyDeletei'm 17years old n i luv cookin...all your recipes r like awesome...i tried this one last eve and it came out real well...it tasted great..:)n every1 luvd it.. thanks alot...<3 keep up the good work...
ReplyDeletethe dish was nice its my personal opinion that capsicum pieces should be added after mushroom is cooked for a while..then capsicum will bring its unique taste..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your suggestion! Will try it that way next time :)
DeleteI tried this twice and it came out very well. i jsut followed the instrucitons. Did not add or delete anything.
ReplyDeletei tried this one y'day and came out very well.
