Details and Ingredients

Mushroom Masala, Kerala-style, is a vegetarian curry that transforms fresh mushrooms into a flavorful delight. Succulent mushrooms are cooked in a thick, creamy gravy made with coconut milk, sautéed onions, tomatoes, and a blend of spices—turmeric, coriander, red chili, and garam masala—finished with a tempering of curry leaves and mustard seeds in coconut oil. The dish strikes a balance between spicy and aromatic, with the earthy mushrooms soaking up the rich, South Indian flavors. It’s a hearty yet light option that reflects Kerala’s love for coconut and bold seasonings.

Served hot, Mushroom Masala pairs wonderfully with chappathi, appam, or rice, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
