Ingredients
Vegetables
Spices & Aromatics
- 4 clove Garlic minced
- 1 Cardamom green cardamom pod, lightly crushed
- 1 Bay Leaf tej patta
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/8 tsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder adjust to taste, red
- 1 tsp Coriander Powder dhania
- 1/2 tsp Garam Masala
Instructions
Preparation
- Slice mushrooms in half. Finely chop 1 medium tomato and 2 large onions. Thinly slice the remaining 4 small onions into half-moons, separating the layers.
- Puree the remaining 2 tomatoes, ginger, green chili, and garlic.
Sautéing Onions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Shallow fry the thinly sliced onion layers until light golden brown. Remove and set aside.
Building the Gravy
- In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add cumin seeds, cardamom, and bay leaf. Once fragrant, add the finely chopped onions and saute until light golden brown.
- Add the tomato puree, minced green chili, ginger, and garlic. Saute until the oil separates from the mixture.
- Stir in red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, sugar, and salt. Mix well and cook for about a minute.
Combining and Finishing
- Add the sliced mushrooms, shallow-fried onion layers, and 1/2 cup of water. Cover and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
- Stir in the fresh cream, mix well, and cook for another minute.
- Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with your favorite Indian bread or rice.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Best Mushroom Do Pyaza
- For a deeper onion flavor, you can lightly caramelize the chopped onions before adding them to the gravy. This step adds a layer of sweetness and complexity.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preference. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the quantity or omit it altogether.
- If you don't have fresh cream, you can substitute with coconut milk for a slightly different but equally delicious flavor profile.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms; they should remain tender and not mushy. Simmering for 3-4 minutes, or until tender, is ideal.
