    WHAT IS MUSHROOM BHAJI?

    Bhaji is usually a dry dish with the vegetables cooked in spices rather than a sauce. It's traditionally served as a side dish but you could turn this into a main course with a side of low carb cauliflower rice or naan bread.

    MUSHROOM BHAJI INGREDIENTS

    The spice mixture for this keto mushroom recipe can vary from recipe to recipe. Taste test as you are cooking and adjust the heat and spice mixture to your own palate.

    We have kept this vegan by using coconut oil in place of Ghee.

    • Mushrooms - We use chestnut mushrooms but any firm mushroom variety will work. You could use a selection of mushrooms too. Ensure that they are chopped evenly.
    • Onion
    • Garlic
    • Tomato puree
    • Water or Stock
    • Coconut oil

    THE SPICE MIXTURE

    For our spice mixture we used these:

    • Turmeric
    • Ginger
    • Cumin
    • Ground Coriander
    • Chili Powder
    • Garam Masala
    • Ground Fenugreek

    Feel free to tweak the mixture!

    HOW TO MAKE MUSHROOM BHAJI

    This is a quick and easy recipe ready in under 30 minutes. The onion and garlic are cooked, spices added, then the mushrooms are cooked with the stock and tomato puree. Simmer until the mushrooms are cooked then serve!

    WHAT TO SERVE WITH MUSHROOM BHAJI

    mushroom bhaji

    This keto mushroom recipe can be served with other Indian side dishes such as our turmeric cauliflower or spicy okra fritters for a feast or just with a side of coconut cauliflower rice for a tasty meal. Try this with low carb roti or naan bread too.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    What are the best mushrooms to use?

    Most mushrooms work well in this recipe. Try chestnut, cremini, portobello or oyster mushrooms

    Can this be frozen?

    Yes this can and I have 2 bags of this in the freezer! Once the dish has cooled down store it in a sealed container or ziplocked bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

      Hi Angela, I am finally getting round to making your mushroom bhaji and just wanted to double check please....do you use whole cumin seeds as it doesn't say ground cumin as with coriander ginger etc? When I have used whole seeds before I have always added to the oil first until they pop...just interested to know and want to get it right as your dish looks so good (as all your wonderful recipes). All the best, Sandy

        Hi, I used ground cumin but cumin seeds in the oil sound good too! Hope you enjoy the recipe!
