Vegan Mushroom Masala image

Mushroom masala is a classic Indian dish that is flavorful, warming, and simple to make. It is also known as "mushroom masala curry" or "mushroom curry". This recipe yields a curry that is pretty delicious over a bed of rice, accompanied by chapati, or even by itself. This is a purely vegetarian meal that is also vegan-friendly.

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (2 inch) cinnamon stick
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 pods green cardamom
2 whole cloves
1 star anise
1 bay leaf
½ onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
2 tomatoes, pureed
1 teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
salt to taste
8 ounces mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ cup water
1 tablespoon cashew powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
½ teaspoon kasoori methi

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add cinnamon, cumin seeds, green cardamom, cloves, star anise, and bay leaf. Stir to allow oil to absorb flavors and aroma, about 30 seconds.
  • Stir in onion and saute until it becomes slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Stir in ginger-garlic paste until smell diminishes, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and stir for 3 to 4 minutes. Add coriander powder, turmeric, and chili powder. Allow sauce to reduce, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in salt. Add mushrooms and stir until coated with sauce.
  • Pour in water and allow mushrooms to cook in sauce until slightly soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in cashew powder and garam masala and let cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Break kasoori methi into fine pieces and stir into meal; remove from heat, and serve.
