Ingredients:

3 cups mushrooms
210g
2 onions
220g
2 tomatoes
250g
1/3 cup cashew
45g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp ginger root
6g
1/2 tsp chili powder
1.30g
1/8 tsp ground cumin
0.36g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
1/8 tsp cinnamon
0.31g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 tsp coriander leaves
1g
2 cups water
470g
1 cup white rice
180g
1 dash salt
0.40g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- 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.
2. Cooking the Rice:
- 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.
3. Making the Curry:
- 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.
4. Final Touches:
- Taste the curry and adjust the salt as needed.
- Garnish with the remaining 1 tsp of finely chopped coriander leaves.
5. Serve:
- 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.
