By Akshara

January 3, 2026

Mushroom masala becomes rich and aromatic when mushrooms soak up a well-cooked onion and tomato base. Spices add depth without overpowering the natural earthiness of the mushrooms, giving the curry a restaurant-style finish. The result is a warm, satisfying dish that works beautifully with rotis, parathas or steamed rice.

Ingredients

2 cups mushrooms (sliced) 1 onion (finely chopped) 1 tomato (pureed) 1 tsp ginger garlic paste ½ tsp turmeric 1 tsp coriander powder ½ tsp garam masala Oil and salt

Step 1

Sauté onions in oil until golden, then add ginger garlic paste and cook briefly.

Step 2

Add tomato puree, turmeric and coriander powder, cooking until the masala thickens.

Step 3

Add mushrooms, salt and a little water, then simmer until the mushrooms turn tender.

Step 4

Finish with garam masala and serve hot.
