Ingredients

• 400 grams canned mushrooms
• 1 medium, finely chopped onion
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, grated fresh ginger
• 2 teaspoons curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 200 milliliters coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons oil (vegetable or coconut)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh cilantro
• 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste salt
• 0.25 teaspoon, or to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Drain the canned mushrooms and rinse them under cold water. Set aside to ensure they are ready for cooking.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet or saucepan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the curry powder, ground cumin, paprika, turmeric powder, and chili powder to the pan. Stir constantly for 1 minute to toast the spices without burning them.

Step 6

Mix in the tomato paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it blends well with the spices and forms a thick paste.

Step 7

Pour in the coconut milk, stirring to combine with the tomato and spice mixture, and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Add the canned mushrooms to the skillet, and toss them gently in the sauce to coat completely.

Step 9

Season the curry with salt and black pepper to taste. Allow it to simmer for 8-10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and the mushrooms absorb the flavors.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the curry with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.

Step 11

Serve the curried canned mushrooms hot with steamed rice, naan, or as a flavorful side dish.
