Methi Mushroom – Mushroom & Fenugreek Leaves Curry
Methi mushroom recipe with step by step photos. Methi mushroom is a delicious curry based dish made with button mushrooms, methi (fenugreek leaves), curd, herbs and spices.
Methi mushroom is a classic adaptation of the famous non vegetarian dish methi murgh. Methi murgh is a famous North Indian curry made with chicken, fenugreek and yogurt.
I have adapted this recipe from Jiggs Kalra’s book “Prashad – cooking with Indian masters“. this dish is very easy to make. Just some patience and time is required. This is definitely not a curry in a hurry.
To make this dish, firstly the mushrooms are marinated in yogurt and then cooked in the aromatic masala. The methi (fenugreek leaves) also gives a beautiful aroma to the dish.
Instead of fresh methi/fenugreek leaves, You can also make this dish with dry fenugreek leaves (Kasuri methi). The amounts are given below in the recipe details.
This methi mushroom dish goes very well with some rotis or naans and even some jeera rice. We had this with phulkas. Our lunch and dinners are very simple and not complicated. If I don’t make dal, then I end up making simple gravy dishes like this with some phulkas and salad.
So do try to make this finger licking methi mushroom. this is also one dish that can go on party menus or can be made on special occasions. It does taste restaurant style and pairs excellently with Indian flatbreads like roti or naan or paratha. Vegans can use cashew curd or any vegan curd.
