Mushroom Masala is a flavorful Indian vegetable preparation that celebrates fresh, seasonal produce with bold spices. This healthy vegetarian dish is perfect for family dinners, DASH diet, and everyday clean eating.
Clean and slice the mushrooms evenly; set them aside on a towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add cumin seeds and toast until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onions and sauté on medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and soft, about 6 minutes.
Stir in the garlic, ginger, and green chilies; cook for 1 minute, then add tomatoes, turmeric, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens, around 5 minutes.
Raise heat to medium-high, add mushrooms, and sauté, stirring, until they begin to release their moisture; then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the lid, sprinkle in garam masala, and cook uncovered for another 3-4 minutes to let excess moisture evaporate and deepen the flavors.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving hot.
