Mushroom Corn Masala Recipe

 

Mushroom Corn Masala

A delicious and tasty side dish for roti, chapati, naan, plain rice, pulaos and biryanis.

My recipe today is a mix of Mushrooms, some frozen corn and peppers.Its an Indian mix vegetable dish that has a thick sauce base consisting of onions,tomatoes,ginger,garlic and some spices.Its an easy side dish that you can make any night of the week and comes together pretty quickly.I like my dishes a tad spicy hence the red chili but you can opt for a milder chili or paprika if you wish.The earthy spices give this dish tons of flavor and the corn and peppers bring in a slightly sweet element.The result is a spicy yet slightly sweet dish with a hint of the garam masala in the background.Just the perfect side dish with any protein of your choice!Enjoy.
