Mushroom Curry Indian

by

I absolutely love mushroom curry Indian style. It’s a dish that’s full of flavor and depth, and it truly reflects the diversity of Indian cuisine. The earthy and meaty flavor of the mushrooms combined with the aromatic spices and creamy sauce make this dish a real winner in my book.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups of mushrooms (button, cremini, or your preferred variety)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tomatoes, pureed
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1-inch ginger, grated
  • 1-2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Preparation

To prepare this delicious mushroom curry, start by sautéing the onions, garlic, ginger, and green chilies in a pan until they turn golden brown. Then, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle.

Next, add the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates. This is an important step as it brings out the richness of the tomatoes and intensifies the flavor of the curry.

Once the tomato mixture is cooked, add the coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Stir well and let the spices cook for a minute or two.

Now, it’s time to add the mushrooms. Stir them into the spice mixture and let them cook for a few minutes until they release their moisture.

After the mushrooms have cooked down, pour in the coconut milk and garam masala. Let the curry simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving

I love to serve this mushroom curry with steamed basmati rice or warm naan bread. The creamy coconut milk balances out the heat from the spices, making it an incredibly satisfying dish.

Conclusion

Mushroom curry Indian style is a dish that never fails to impress. Its rich, aromatic flavors and creamy texture make it a standout in Indian cuisine. Whether you’re a vegetarian or just looking to switch up your dinner routine, this dish is a must-try. I hope you enjoy making and savoring this delightful dish as much as I do!
