If you're looking for a dhaba-style mushroom curry, try this easy recipe from Ranveer Brar. The spices and subtle smoky flavor make it even more special.

Mushroom Masala Recipe

If you're bored of making mushroom curry the same way every time, try giving it a little dhaba-style twist this time. The spices in dhaba dishes tend to be different and more intense, making even a simple dish feel quite special. Mushroom masala is one such dish that can be easily prepared at home. It uses mushrooms, yogurt, and a variety of spices. Adding a slight smoky flavor makes this recipe even more delicious. Chef Ranveer Brar has also shared a recipe for mushroom masala, which you can try at home.

Prepare mushrooms with spices

This recipe begins by thoroughly cleaning the mushrooms. Place the mushrooms in a bowl, add some wheat flour, mix well, and then rinse with water. Once the mushrooms are clean, add ginger-garlic paste, salt to taste, oil, finely chopped green chilies, and coriander leaves. Then, add whipped yogurt, red chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder, and a little cumin powder, mixing everything thoroughly. Letting the mushrooms sit in this mixture for a while will allow the spices to infuse the flavors, making the dish more delicious once cooked.

Prepare dhaba-like masala in a pan

Heat oil in a pan or handi and add dried Kashmiri red chilies and cumin seeds. Add coarsely chopped onions and cook for a few minutes, until slightly softened. Add the mushrooms marinated in spices to the pan and mix well. Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cover the pan for a few minutes, allowing the mushrooms and spices to cook thoroughly. Once the mushrooms are cooked, add garam masala and a little butter, mixing thoroughly. The butter will enhance the flavor and aroma of the curry.

This trick will give you a smoky flavor

To bring this recipe closer to the dhaba-style taste, you can add a smoky flavor. To do this, place burning coal in a small steel vessel and pour some ghee over it. Place this vessel in the center of the prepared mushroom masala and cover the pan or handi for a while. The smoke from the coal will penetrate the vegetable, creating a mild smoky aroma. After a while, carefully remove the coal and give the vegetables a good stir. This simple trick can help give a simple mushroom masala a dhaba-like flavor.

Garnish with cashews and coriander

Once the mushroom masala is fully prepared, transfer it to a serving bowl. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves and cashews. Serve hot mushroom masala with roti, naan, or paratha. This recipe uses yogurt, spices, butter, and a smoky flavor to combine with mushrooms, making it a slightly different flavor from the typical mushroom curry.
