Mushroom Masala

(This recipe has featured in  “Yummly” )
Having started to cook Mushrooms recently, I sometimes find them totally bland. They wilt, soften, merge well and are so flexible but never rise up to the expectation when you want to have something hot and spicy. Remember the Chilli Egg, well if they can’t be made spicy then why can’t this be?  This was finger licking delicious with rotis. I promise you will love this. I added bell peppers too to have some bite as I personally feel that they both make a good couple.

    The mushroom masala looks spicy and delicious! If you have just started cooking with mushrooms, may I suggest a few easy and flavorsome ways? Try them sauteed with garlic, lots of pepper and some mustard sauce. Or with some spring onions, babycorn and soorted veggies and a few chinese sauces of your choice. simple way to bring out mushroom flavors 🙂

    I love spicy food. Chicken tikka masala is on of my favourite curries so I will try masala with mushrooms very soon. Thanks for the great idea.
