A mushroom curry with cashew nuts and many flavors is a delicious vegetarian meal. The mushrooms keep their firmness, giving the curry extra texture.

The fresh lime pairs perfectly with the mushrooms, but if you prefer less lime, you can use 1 lime instead of 2.

Preparation - 15 minutes

Peel the onion and garlic cloves and peel the ginger root.

You can make a paste with a small blender or chop the onion, garlic, etc. as finely as possible with a chef's knife.

Clean the mushrooms with a mushroom brush or a piece of kitchen paper and leave the mushrooms whole.

Grate the limes and squeeze out the juice. Tip: for a slightly less sour curry, use 1 instead of 2 limes.

Crush the black peppercorns coarsely.

Making the mushroom curry - 45 minutes

Heat a large frying pan over high heat and toast the cashew nuts until they start to brown lightly. Then remove them from the pan and heat the pan again.

Add a splash of sunflower oil and fry the mushrooms in batches until they are nicely golden brown.

Add the onion, garlic, ginger, and green chili and fry for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Fry fresh curry leaves, black pepper, 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of coriander, and 2 teaspoons of garam masala for a short time.

Then add the diced tomatoes and coconut milk and let the curry thicken and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes. The exact time depends on the heat source.

Season with salt and serve the mushroom curry with rice, roasted cashew nuts, and possibly extra curry leaves. Enjoy your meal!

Tips!

What are curry leaves?

Curry leaves are leaves from the Murraya koenigii plant. This is a very aromatic plant from South Asia, popular in Indian dishes for their slightly bitter and spicy citrus flavor. You can eat fresh curry leaves; however, the dried version should be used like bay leaves and removed from your dish.

Which mushrooms are best for a mushroom curry?

You can use almost any type of mushrooms for making a mushroom curry. Besides white mushrooms, you can also use brown mushrooms or a mix of both. Additionally, you can choose a combination of different mushrooms, such as shiitake, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles, and many more.
