Ingredients

• 400 grams Button mushrooms
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
• 2 medium, pureed Tomatoes
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon or to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp cloth or paper towel, and then slice them evenly.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan, and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook until the oil separates from the mixture, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes to release the spices' flavors.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, stirring well to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the mushrooms to soften slightly and absorb the flavors.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk and mix thoroughly. Lower the heat and let the curry simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Once the mushrooms are tender and the curry has thickened slightly, sprinkle in the garam masala and lemon juice. Stir them in thoroughly and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve hot with rice or naan.
