Mushroom Masala Recipe - How to Make Mushroom Masala

Keep the onion paste, fresh tomato paste and ginger garlic paste ready by blending them separately with a little bit of oil.
Wash thoroughly the button mushrooms and cut them into quarters.
Heat oil in a kadhai, add all the whole spices such as cumin seeds, cardamom, cinnamon and bay leaf. Let the spices splutter.
Now add the onion paste and let it reduce. Once the onion paste is 70 percent cooked, add ginger garlic paste.
Once this masala starts getting brown, its time to add fresh tomato paste and let it cook.
At this stage add the powdered spices such as coriander powder, turmeric and red chilli. Cook the masala till it starts leaving oil.
Now add the mushrooms and green peas, let them cook. They will leech out water, allow them to soften.
At this stage add a cup of water and let the gravy simmer. Once everything comes together, add two teaspoons of Knorr aromat masala and adjust the seasoning by adding salt.
Finish the dish with toasted and crushed kasuri methi. Also add in a cream to add to the richness.
Top it up with fresh coriander leaves and serve.
