Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Masala Mushrooms

  • For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of vegetable oil.
  • If you don’t have pre-made pastes, you can easily grate fresh ginger and garlic.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro (coriander leaves) before serving for added freshness and vibrancy.
