Kadai Mushroom masala and Kadai Paneer Masala are mostly cooked in many households and loved by all too.
I tried to add some zest and colour to Kadai Mushroom Masala and yes the experiment was a hit with my family.
The freshly made Kadai masala enhances the taste and gives a nice aroma.

Thank you Riya.
This recipe looks wonderful. I am going to have to hunt down ginger paste at our Asian market so I can give it a try.
Yummy preparation. My all time favourite, kadai mushroom or paneer. Sometimes I mix both and make it.
Thank You Mayuri. I agree it’s an awesome combo.
