    About this recipe

    This version of flavorful Mushroom Masala gets all its taste from caramelized onions , black pepper powder and Yogurt.

    There are many styles of making Mushroom but this is my own style . I always noticed Mushroom tastes very well , when onions are sautéed till golden brown.

    And also pepper powder goes very well with mushroom . Hence I have added onions and my secret ingredient curds, which actually adds tastes to this recipe. Also to give that restaurant style finish , I temper mushroom masala with curry leaves , cashews and black pepper powder , this step alone will take dish to the next level.

    This recipe of mushroom masala is very similar to the chicken ghee roast masala which I often make at home. All I can say about this recipe is , The state is somewhere between Mushroom masala and mushroom pepper dry. Call it with whichever name but all I can say is it tastes simply good.
