Cooking steps for Mushroom Curry

  1. 1
    This is an easy but delightful mushroom curry.
  2. 2
    First, take 200 grams of mushrooms that need to be sliced into thin pieces.
  3. 3
    It is the texture of the mushrooms that provides the perfect balance of flavours in this dish.
  4. 4
    Add the sliced mushrooms to a hot pan with oil. Saute them until they are cooked and tender, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. 5
    They will release their moisture while they get cooked through, thereby adding to the main flavour of the dish.
  6. 6
    Once done, remove the mushrooms from the pan.
  7. 7
    Now is the time to make an exquisite masala base.
  8. 8
    Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan.
  9. 9
    When the oil is hot, add one teaspoon of cumin seeds and allow it to splutter. This infusion of earthy cumin oil into the curry makes for the aromatic base.
  10. 10
    Now, add one fine, diced onion to the pan.
  11. 11
    Saut it till it becomes golden brown. Stir occasionally so that it gets cooked evenly.
  12. 12
    Once the onions are caramelised, add a tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste into the pan and saut it till the raw smell of ginger-garlic fades away, which would take a minute or so.
  13. 13
    Add two finely chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook it until it is mushy and their juices have been released into the pan to form a thick base for the curry.
  14. 14
    Add to this mixture one teaspoon of turmeric powder, one teaspoon of red chilli powder, one teaspoon of coriander powder, and salt according to taste.
  15. 15
    Mix all of these well and cook until the oil starts separating from the masala, which means that it is well cooked.
  16. 16
    With the masala ready, put the saut ed paneer and mushrooms into the pan.
  17. 17
    Stir everything gently so that the mushrooms are well coated with the rich and flavourful masala.
  18. 18
    Add to it a cup of water to make it into a sauce.
  19. 19
    Let it boil and bring it down to a simmer so that when it has cooked for about ten minutes, blend the flavours well.
  20. 20
    Add half a cup of fresh cream to that pan, which gives the curry a rich and luscious taste after being simmered.
  21. 21
    Mix well, cook for two minutes, and let the cream be appropriately integrated. Finally, turn off the flame and garnish the dish by topping fresh coriander leaves.
  22. 22
    Serve this Mushroom Curry hot along with soft rotis or aromatic, steaming rice.
  23. 23
    This dish not only boasts vibrant colours but also a mouthwatering experience that harmonises the richness of the sauce with the hearty texture of mushrooms.
  24. 24
    Whether cooking for yourself or entertaining guests, this curry will ensure you feel satisfied in terms of taste, sensation and comfort. Enjoy!
