Instructions
 

Preparing the Aromatics

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until lightly golden. Add sliced onions and minced ginger; sauté until onions become translucent.

Adding the Vegetables and Spices

  • Add the chopped tomatoes and green chili; simmer until the tomatoes soften. Stir in the sliced mushrooms, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, and salt. Sauté for about 30 seconds.

Combining Spinach and Coriander

  • Stir in the finely chopped spinach and coriander leaves. Cover the pan, reduce heat to low, and simmer until the spinach wilts and most of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. The mushrooms will release some moisture as well, helping to cook the spinach.

Serving

  • Once the spinach is cooked and the sabzi has thickened slightly, remove from heat. Serve hot with roti, naan, or rice.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Palak Mushroom Sabzi

  • For a richer flavor, lightly toast the cumin seeds before adding them to the pan or grinding them into powder.
  • If you prefer a slightly gravy-like consistency, add a tablespoon or two of water while simmering the spinach.
  • Don't overcook the spinach, as this will make it mushy. Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of green chili to your spice preference. Add a pinch of red chili powder for extra heat.
