Aloo Mushroom Masala

Aloo Mushroom masala
Aloo mushroom masala is a different yummy combination for rotis.. I have never tried this combination before. Had some mushrooms fresh from the store and wanted to use them quickly before they become dark inside .. I often prepare aloo capsicum masala , this time for a change tried aloo with mushrooms.. and to our surprise it turned out awesome.. Even kids had it happily.

Notes for aloo mushroom masala

  • I use sesame oil in most of my recipes, for its health benefits. You can use any cooking oil .
  • I always prefer ginger and garlic to be ground fresh. You can replace it with store bought ginger garlic paste but the flavour will differ slightly.
  • You may also use chopped tomato instead of tomato paste, but this cooks faster so I make it a paste and then use it.
  • Feel free to add or reduce the spice powders as per your taste buds. This recipe was mildly spicy for the measurements given above.
  • Amchur powder can also be added with chilly powder and garam masala powder.
  • You could also add kasuri methi leaves with coriander leaves.
