Palak Mushroom Recipe-Spinach Mushroom Curry - Padhuskitchen (2024)

by PadhuSankar 11 Comments

My palak paneer is very popular in my family and among the readers. Now in this recipe, I have used the same palak base but have added mushrooms for a change. Mushrooms and spinach make a good combination. This Spinach mushroom gravy goes well with all Indian breads and lightly flavored rice like Cumin Rice, Ghee Rice and less spicy Vegetable Rice. Today we will learn how to make Palak Mushroom following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.

    The recipe ingredients list does not say anything about garam masala, but the recipe steps mention garam masala.
    The recipe ingredients list mentions cumin power, but the recipe steps do not say how to use the cumin powder

    This is a nice variation to the regular palak paneer. The combination of palak and mushroom works well. Loved it with phulkas.
