Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Soak the cashews in water for at least 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Set aside.
- In a medium pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the rice and a pinch of salt.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
- In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onions and sauté until they turn translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and sauté for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they start to soften, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a sauce, about 5 minutes.
- Add the soaked cashews, chili powder, ground cumin, cinnamon, and 1 tsp of coriander leaves. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender and the flavors meld together.
- Taste the curry and adjust the salt as needed.
- Garnish with the remaining 1 tsp of finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve the savory mushroom curry over a bed of fluffy rice.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, toast the cashews lightly in a dry pan before adding them to the curry.
- If you prefer a thicker curry, simmer it for a bit longer to reduce the liquid.
- Feel free to add other vegetables such as spinach, bell peppers, or peas to add more variety and nutrition.
- If you're not a fan of white rice, you can substitute it with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- Adjust the spices to your taste. If you like it spicier, add a bit more chili powder or even some fresh chopped chilies.
