Mushroom Masala is a pre-measured Indian spice blend for a savory, earthy mushroom curry — one packet, one dish, ready in under 45 minutes.
What Is Mushroom Masala?
Mushroom masala is a rich, aromatic curry where mushrooms absorb a deeply spiced tomato and onion gravy. The mushrooms' natural umami flavor makes this one of the meatiest-tasting vegetarian dishes in Indian cuisine — even devoted carnivores love it.
How to Cook Mushroom Masala
Ingredients
- 1 packet moji masala® Mushroom Masala
- 1 lb mushrooms (cremini, button, or a mix), sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tbsp garlic-ginger paste
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Step-by-Step
- Sauté onions: Heat oil in a heavy pan. Cook onions until deep golden, about 6 minutes.
- Add aromatics: Add garlic-ginger paste, cook 1 minute. Add the moji masala® packet and stir 30 seconds.
- Add tomatoes: Cook until they break down into a thick sauce, about 4 minutes.
- Add mushrooms: Toss in sliced mushrooms. They'll release water — let it cook off.
- Simmer: Cook on medium-low for 15–20 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the mushrooms.
Serve over basmati rice or with warm naan.
Flavor Profile
Deep, earthy, and savory with layers of warm spice. The mushrooms add natural umami that makes this curry taste richer than the sum of its parts. Mildly spiced — approachable for all palates.
Tips and Variations
- Mix your mushrooms: Cremini + shiitake + oyster mushrooms create the best texture and flavor
- Don't crowd the pan: Mushrooms need space to brown, not steam
- Add cream: A splash of heavy cream at the end makes it restaurant-style
- Meal prep friendly: Tastes even better the next day as the spices deepen
