Palak Mushroom Recipe-Spinach Mushroom Curry

July 1, 2015 by PadhuSankar 11 Comments

My palak paneer is very popular in my family and among the readers. Now in this recipe, I have used the same palak base but have added mushrooms for a change. Mushrooms and spinach make a good combination. This Spinach mushroom gravy goes well with all Indian breads and lightly flavored rice like Cumin Rice, Ghee Rice and less spicy Vegetable Rice. Today we will learn how to make Palak Mushroom following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

Preparation


Finely chop onion, garlic and tomatoes.

Wash and clean mushrooms. Chop it into 2 or 3 pieces. Do not chop it finely. You can use any mushrooms you like.

Wash and chop spinach roughly. Bring a cup of water to boil. Add the spinach leaves and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the water and allow it to cool. Grind it to a slightly coarse paste with green chilli and salt. Keep this aside. Do not discard the water in which the spinach was cooked as we will be using it for the gravy in the end.

Method

Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds, when it sizzles, add finely chopped onions and garlic. Cook stirring continuously until the onions turn golden brown. Add a little salt to speed up the process.

When onions turn light golden brown, add ginger garlic paste and saute for a few more minutes.

    The recipe ingredients list does not say anything about garam masala, but the recipe steps mention garam masala.
    The recipe ingredients list mentions cumin power, but the recipe steps do not say how to use the cumin powder

    This is a nice variation to the regular palak paneer. The combination of palak and mushroom works well. Loved it with phulkas.
