Mushroom Masala Gravy Recipe

Mushroom Masala is a delectable Indian curry recipe where succulent mushrooms are cooked in creamy tomato based sauce seasoned with aromatic spices. This mushroom gravy goes well with hot chapathi, paratha, naan or steamed rice. 

Mushroom Masala Gravy Recipe

This masala mushroom curry recipe is:

  • Vegetarian
  • Vegan (Dairy free)
  • Gluten Free
  • Prepared in less than 30 min!!

It is such a quick, easy and flavour packed Indian mushroom recipe that you would want to make it again & again. To make this curry restaurant style, I have used cashews which gives its a smooth velvety texture.

Types of Mushroom Used:

I have used button mushrooms to make this mushroom gravy as they are most commonly available in India. Mushrooms are low in calories and loaded with lots of vitamins & antioxidant.

I love the versatile ways these can be used in various recipes like curries, risotto, pasta, noodles, soups and casseroles etc. Because of their juicy texture they are often used as meat substitute too in many recipes.

Before using mushrooms make sure to wash them well under running water to get rid of all the dust or soil particles. Never leave the mushrooms in water for long as they tend to become soggy really soon, thus ruining the texture.

Mushroom Masala Recipe

To make this lip smacking vegan mushroom gravy creamy, I have used cashew cream which is made by blending soaked cashews with water. It makes the gravy thick as well as imparts richness to it. If you want to make it nut free, you can replace it with heavy cream or coconut milk.

Variations:

You can also add some peas, spinach or bell pepper (capsicum) cubes in this recipe. If you want to add protein in this mushroom curry, feel free to add some tofu or paneer cubes.

Notes :

1. I have used both red chilli powder and crushed black pepper in this mushroom recipe. You can adjust the spiciness as per your taste.

2. You can use any cooking oil of your choice like sunflower, olive or avocado oil.

Directions:

Step 1:

Wash & scrubs the mushrooms in a water bowl. Transfer them on a kitchen towel and scrub once again to get rid of dirt or dust. Chop off the mushrooms into slices. Keep these aside.

Step 2:

Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin (jeera) and sauté them for 15-20 seconds. Add chopped onions and cook them till they turn pink in colour.

Step 3:

Add ginger paste, crushed garlic to the above pan and sauté for a minute. Puree the tomatoes and add them along with salt, red chilli powder, turmeric (haldi), coriander powder (dhaniya) and crushed black pepper. Let this masala mix cook on medium low flame till it starts releasing the oil on sides of pan.  In the mean time, let’s proceed to next step.

Masala-Mushroom-Step3

Step 4:

Soak cashews in hot water for 10-15 minutes. Discard the water in which they were soaked and transfer to a blending jar. Add 1/3 cup water to it and blend well to get cream like consistency.

Step 5:

Once the masala mix has started releasing the fat, add this cashew cream to it and mix well for 1-2 minutes.

Masala-Mushroom-Step5

Step 6:

Add sliced mushrooms, mix gently and let the mushrooms saute in this mix for 1-2 minutes on low flame. Add 1/4 cup water and cover the pan with a lid. Let the mushrooms cook for 5-6 minutes.

Masala-Mushroom-Step6

Step 7:

After 6-7 minutes, open the lid & you will notice how mushrooms have released their moisture in pan. Add 1/4 cup to 1/3 cup water more, depending on how thick or thin you want the gravy.

Mix gently (in order to not break the mushroom pieces) and let the mushrooms cook for another 5-6 minutes in open pan on low flame. The gravy will eventually thicken up and gain cream like consistency. 

Masala-Mushroom-Step7

Switch off the gas, add some garam masala and kasuri methi to it. Mix gently & transfer this hot piping mushroom curry in a serving bowl.

Garnish with some fresh coriander leaves or cilantro. Enjoy with chapatis, naan or a bowl of steamed rice.
