Notes
Tips for Mushroom Curry Recipe
- Firstly, use the fresh mushrooms and firm ones for a good taste. Never use aged, soggy or shrunken mushrooms.
- Do not skip step 2: after rinsing, pat dry the mushrooms for minimum 10 minutes. As this process helps to absorb the extra water content and prevents the mushroom masala recipe from turning mushy.
- For a variation, you can add capsicum, aloo, baby corn, sweet corn, green peas etc. If adding these veggies, first cook it and then add the mushrooms.
- Never pour water and cook this mushroom curry recipe, as it becomes fully mushy. As mushrooms contain a lot of water inside, that is enough for cooking.
- Also, don't overcook the veggie, just cook till soft.
- Adjust green chilli and chilli powder as per spice level required.
- Furthermore, for more flavour and extra spiciness, use 1/2 tsp of crushed pepper powder.
