Easy Mushroom Tawa Masala Recipe – a simple, quick and easy recipe made on a big tawa also delicious like pav bhaji. Everything is made on a tawa and an easy one pan dish. I have adapted from my own pav bhaji recipe on our food blog.
You could make this dish during breakfast, brunch or main course. Club them with phulkas, toasted bread, roti, naan they even taste great with rice. I had made this for my parent’s, uncle and aunt as my hubby isn’t fond of mushrooms. Had clubbed ours with coriander rice and salad. We usually make tawa chicken, tawa paneer but tawa mushrooms are made only for exceptions at our place.
My family loved the tawa mushrooms so much that they had the leftovers next day with toasted bread. Planning to make them with tofu or veggies soon. You just have to chop veggies and require spice powder like pav bhaji masala and garam masala. To give tangy flavor either you could add amchur powder or chat masala.
This is made in a thick bottomed tawa or pan. If you don’t have just one a non-stick pan or sauce pan will do. I have used butter you could use oil instead. Personally, I love them to have with toasted bread and tea 😉 makes my day great.
Let’s make Mushroom Tawa Masala Recipe step by step:
- Firstly heat the tawa on high heat. Once it’s hot just add chopped capsicum.
