About Muglai Mushroom Curry
This rich and creamy Muglai Mushroom Curry is a delightful dish that pairs perfectly with rumali roti, naan, or laccha paratha. Prepared with a blend of onions, tomatoes, khoya, and cream, it’s infused with both whole and dry spices to create a truly indulgent experience.
Drawing inspiration from traditional Mughlai cuisine, the curry features cashew nuts and malai, lending it a luxurious texture and irresistible flavor. While mushrooms can be used in countless dishes, this was my first attempt at crafting a Muglai-style mushroom curry—and it turned out absolutely delicious.

Recipe Notes
Additional Tips
- For an extra rich and creamy texture, soak the cashews and melon seeds in warm water for 20 minutes before blending; this ensures a silky-smooth paste that integrates seamlessly into the gravy.
- If you prefer a subtle smoky aroma reminiscent of restaurant Mughlai curries, briefly smoke the finished curry with a piece of charcoal placed in a small bowl, drizzled with ghee, and covered for 2-3 minutes before serving.
- To add a layer of crunch, sauté a few mushrooms separately until golden and use them as a garnish along with a sprinkle of toasted crushed cashews just before serving.
- For a vegan version, substitute dairy cream with coconut cream and khoya with a blend of ground cashews and a little coconut milk to maintain the luxurious consistency and depth of flavor.
