Braised Mushroom with Dashi
I love mushrooms for as long as I can remember, even when I was a little kid. I love mushrooms of all sorts, shiitake, button, enoki, straw mushrooms—canned or fresh. One of the great things about the United States is that I can get fresh mushrooms easily. They are readily available at the market… Whenever I get some fresh shiitake…

Mushroom Chicken (蘑菇鸡)
As much as I love cooking, I don’t—and can’t—cook every day. If you are a home cook, I am sure you understand what I mean. Some days, you wake up, open the refrigerator, look at the ingredients you have, and your mind just goes blank. You either feel like you run out of cooking ideas, don’t know what to cook,…

Recently, my friend told me that I should be sharing more everyday recipes on Rasa Malaysia—meaning homey recipes that can be served on a constant basis.

Hi Bee, so happy to see vegetarian recipe here. This mushroom tikka masala recipe looks so good!!! yummy. Thanks veggiebelly, will check out your blog now.
What is kasoori methi? :/ is it just a spice?
Kasoori methi is a dried herb, with an earthy flavor. Its easily available at Indian stores. Substitute with cilantro.
wow..yummy..Bookmarked..will try this soon
That’s what I was looking for! Veggie tikka masala! Perfect!
I’ve got mushrooms I’m going for it!
Love this recipe! I’ve made tofu and chicken tikka masala many times but never thought to sub in mushrooms. Can’t wait to try it, thanks!
I can’t find button mushrooms where I am. Can I use another ingredient? Potatoes?
Par-cooked potatoes will work, you can also use eggplant, fried tofu or paneer. I also like baby corn in tikka masala.
What a gorgeous post! Love tikka masala.
This looks delicious! Tikka Masala is one of my favourite dishes. I often use crimini mushrooms in mine as they have a little bit more flavour than the white.

thank you for this! I love tikka masala, but no longer eat meat. I never realized mushrooms could be such a good substitute. can’t wait to try this!
I am a big fan of Salaa and I follow her blog regularly. This recipe really rocks :)
I’m a huge fan and also friend of Sala’s. This curry looks delicious, as do all of the things I find on her site. Great guest post!
What a gorgeous post! Love tikka masala.
what if you want plain tikka masala. not with mushrooms or eggplant or potatoes does the same recipe work without the mushroom parts?
This is delicious. We are not veggies but do like a meat free curry from time to time. I added a little more chilli (1 whole teaspoon to the gravy) as we like it a bit spiky! The flavour is lovely and it is very quick to prepare. Thanks for posting.
