Savor the flavors of India with this quick, easy, and nutritious Mushroom Masala recipe. Perfect for a vegan diet, it's packed with aromatic spices and savory mushrooms.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Start by finely chopping one large onion and slicing 2 cups of mushrooms. The onions should be golden brown when sautéed, adding a subtle sweetness to the dish. The mushrooms are the star of the show, soaking up all the flavors yet maintaining their juicy texture.
Pro Tip: Cut the mushrooms in even slices for uniform cooking.
Step 2: Sauté Onions and Mushrooms
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they're golden brown, which unleashes their natural sweetness. Then, introduce the sliced mushrooms to the pan, stirring occasionally until they're well-cooked and have released their moisture. This step is crucial for building the foundation of flavors.
Pro Tip: Don't overcrowd the pan to ensure mushrooms brown nicely.
Step 3: Add Spices
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and salt to taste over the sautéed onions and mushrooms. The spices should be evenly distributed throughout the mix, giving the dish its vibrant hue and authentic flavors. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Pro Tip: Adjust chili powder according to your heat preference.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Once the mushrooms are tender and all the flavors have melded together, remove the pan from heat. Sprinkle roasted sesame seeds and fresh coriander on top for an extra layer of texture and freshness. Serve the Mushroom Masala hot, accompanied by rice or flatbreads for a satisfying meal.
Pro Tip: Let the dish sit for a few minutes before serving to deepen the flavors.
