Delicious Mushroom Curry Recipe for a Flavorful Meal

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 green chili, slit (optional)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Prepare the Base

    Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until fragrant.

    Ensure the oil is hot enough to release the flavors of the cumin.
  2. Sauté Onions

    Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning the onions.
  3. Add Garlic and Ginger

    Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until aromatic.

    Do not let the garlic burn, as it can turn bitter.
  4. Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices

    Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until tomatoes are soft.

    You can add a splash of water to help the tomatoes cook down.
  5. Cook Mushrooms

    Add sliced mushrooms to the pan and stir well. Cook for 5-7 minutes until mushrooms are tender.

    Mushrooms will release water, so avoid adding too much additional liquid.
  6. Finish with Coconut Milk

    Pour in coconut milk and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

    Adjust the consistency by adding more coconut milk if desired.
  7. Garnish and Serve

    Stir in garam masala and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve hot.

    This curry pairs well with rice or naan.
