Aloo and Mushroom is a great combo for curry. Mushroom add the bite and the starch from potato makes the curry thick and creamy. It is a very comforting dish and with the spices that goes in, it turns out very delicious without any effort at all. If you don’t like the gravy in mushroom curry, then try this dry mushroom masala This One Pot Aloo Mushroom Masala happens quite regularly in our house, and I am sure you will enjoy it too.
Ingredients you need for Aloo Mushroom Masala
Mushroom - I used white button mushroom. And the ones I used are quite big, got it from Costco, and so I sliced most of these in quarters. If you use the regular white button mushroom from other stores, then slice in half. Potatoes - Any variety of potatoes will work great, and you want to dice them almost the same size as the mushroom, so it cooks fast and looks uniform too. Onion, tomato, garlic, ginger - The usual ginger garlic paste along with onion and tomato is added. I like to chop the onion very finely and make a tomato purée or finely chop the tomatoes too. Finely chopping the onion and tomato will once again create that creamy, smooth texture to the curry. Spice Paste - Instead of adding the dry spice powder straight to the pan, which can at times burn the powder without giving it chance to flavor the curry. Instead, I like to make a quick spice paste. The technique of mixing ground spices with water before adding to the curry, creates a creamy consistency and the spices don’t burn. Rather, mixes evenly with rest of the ingredients.

Scatter the chopped onion, season with salt and stir it around for a few minutes to soften the onion. 4. Make the spice paste with the round spices and water and add it to the pan. And cook fore few minutes for the raw smell of spices to go away. 5. Pour the tomato purée and mix it around. 6. Scatter the potatoes and cook for a few more minutes to blend everything. 7. Pour the water and let simmer until the potatoes have softened a little. 8. Finally, add the mushroom and simmer for a while for the mushroom to soak up all the flavor. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and enjoy with rice or paratha. I keep the Aloo Mushroom Masala less spicy, but you can definitely make it spicy by adding some green chili or adding garam masala at the end. Any mushroom dish tastes best when prepared with fresh, beautiful mushroom that is not bruised or softened. So get the good quality mushroom and you will love the dish.
