Mushroom Masala Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• 230 grams (8 ounces) sliced mushrooms
• 1 cup cubed onions (about 1 large onion)
• 1 cup cubed tomatoes (about 2 large tomatoes)
• ½ inch ginger (chopped)
• 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
• 12 cashew nuts (or almonds)
• 2 tablespoons oil (or butter)
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• ¾ teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder (optional)
• ¼ teaspoon salt (or as needed)
• ¼ teaspoon kasuri methi (optional, dried fenugreek leaves)
• 1 small bay leaf (or 10 curry leaves)
• 2 green cardamoms
• 1-inch cinnamon piece
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped coriander leaves (cilantro)
• 3 tablespoons cream (optional)

Instructions:

1. Boil the Onions: Pour 2 cups of water into a small pot and bring it to a rolling boil. Add 1 cup of onions and boil for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn transparent. Drain the water and add the onions to a blender. This step removes the raw smell and bitterness from the onions.
2. Prepare the Paste: In the same blender, add 1 cup tomatoes, ½ inch ginger, 2 to 3 garlic cloves, and 12 cashew nuts (or almonds). Blend to a fine paste without adding water.
3. Make the Gravy:
   • Heat a pan with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add a small piece of bay leaf, 2 green cardamoms, and 1 small cinnamon stick (optional).
   • When the oil is slightly hot and the spices sizzle, pour in the onion-tomato puree.
   • Cook the puree until the oil separates and the mixture thickens.
4. Add Spices: Stir in 1 teaspoon garam masala, ¾ teaspoon red chili powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder (optional), and ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste).
5. Finish the Dish:
   • Add the sliced mushrooms and mix well.
   • Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes on medium-low flame until the mushrooms are tender.
   • If desired, add 3 tablespoons of cream for richness.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle with finely chopped coriander leaves.
7. Serve your delightful Mushroom Masala Curry with rice, roti, or naan. Enjoy! 🍽️
