Today, I am sharing one of my very popular recipes i.e Shahi Stuffed Mushroom Curry. I am sharing this recipe with detailed photos and video recipes. A Mughlai curry made with Mushroom stuffed with paneer, peas, corn and dry fruits. In a rich and tasty tomato-based gravy, usually served with chapati or rice. It is a blend of various spices along with an amazing flavour of cashew nut. The luscious creamy gravy makes this recipe a must-have at a dinner party.

However, I used yoghurt in this gravy, the use of yoghurt or curd elevates the taste of the gravy with the aroma of spices infused. In fact, Mughlai foods were made rich with the use of nuts, saffron & curd. Tomatoes were not used as they did not exist in India during the Mughals reign.

While I love stuffed mushrooms, I don’t like soggy mushrooms at all. So here’s a tip – bake your mushrooms first before stuffing them. This way you will get rid of all the excess moisture and so when you stuff the mushrooms, they won’t be soggy anymore. The great thing about this recipe is that you can do the prep well in advance. If you have a party tomorrow, a day before you can remove the mushroom stems and prepare the stuffing. Keep the stuffing refrigerated overnight and in the morning simply stuff and bake the mushrooms. Simple right? This will also save you so much time when you have 100 other things to do! You can use this stuff as a finger snack too.

Using both yoghurt & tomatoes makes the gravy a little tangy which can be balanced with the addition of extra cream.

Tips:

Before wrapping up some tips, suggestions and variations for shahi mushroom ki sabji.

Firstly, in this recipe, I have used tomatoes and onions to prepare the creamy sauce. some prefer to use just onions and skip tomatoes to get the white colour.

Secondly, you can also add cashews and almonds in terms of dry fruits. you can experiment and add more options like sunflower seeds and pistachios.

Furthermore, you can make the same gravy sauce and replace the mushroom with other ingredients like paneer and potatoes to make other variants.

Here, I am sharing the step by step recipe for Shahi Stuffed Mushroom Curry. You can use these mushrooms as a snack too. Just topped these mushrooms with grated cheese and bake at 180ºc for 5 min.
