Heat oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, and nigella seeds. Let them splutter.
Add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.
3. **Adding Spices:**
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and ginger garlic paste. Sauté for a minute until the raw smell disappears.
4. **Tomatoes and Mushrooms:**
Add finely chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil starts separating.
Add halved mushrooms and cook for a few minutes until they release their water and start to cook.
5. **Achari Flavors:**
Add achari masala and salt. Mix well to coat the mushrooms with the flavorful masala.
6. **Cooking Mushrooms:**
Cover the pan and let the mushrooms cook until they are tender. You can add a little water if needed.
