I’ll be hard pressed to tell you when I started liking mushrooms, so much so, that I have cooked this recipe several times! That’s Spicy Mushroom Curry for you. Although I’ve had mushrooms in stir fry’s, pizzas, and other recipes, I’ve never exclusively ordered them at restaurants or attempted to cook them. Now that I’ve started enjoying this recipe, I decided I should share it with you. And what better way to end another tumultuous year than with a delicious, nutritious, and unique curry?!

Stir-Fry Mushrooms & Bell Peppers

Mushrooms

Undoubtedly, mushrooms are not as common in Indian cuisine, as they are in Asian or Western cuisines. They are not really cultivated for cooking. In fact, growing up in India, I do not ever remember eating mushrooms. What I’m most impressed with, is that mushrooms exposed to sunlight are an excellent natural source of vitamin D. Remember to buy the right ones if you want to get this benefit. There are a few brands (I buy Monterey) that expose their mushrooms to sunlight. However, many brands are not, so be careful to read the fine print.

Portabella Mushrooms

Spicy Mushroom Curry

While I termed it ‘spicy’, this recipe can be mild if you like. You’ll just need to tone down on the chili pepper and garam masala. I followed a typical Indian curry process that I use with a bunch of recipes. The key spices are ginger and garlic, turmeric powder, chili powder (cayenne pepper), coriander powder and garam masala. This is a simple sauté recipe with fresh ingredients allowing you to experience all the curry flavors. I enjoy it most with fresh, hot rotis or parathas, and a simple salad. Go ahead, give it a try!
