Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 3/4 cup peas
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • 1 green chili (serrano or jalapeno), minced
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 7 oz canned tomatoes (or 1 large tomato chopped and pureed)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne powder (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp kasuri methi (fenugreek leaves - optional but suggested)
  • 1 tbsp garam masala (can sub curry for this)
  • 6 tbsp cashew cream (or other vegan cream/coconut milk)
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • salt to taste
  • cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a medium saucepan. Cook the mushrooms until they're softened (about 7 minutes).
  • Puree the tomato in a food processor or with an immersion blender.
  • Remove the mushrooms from the pot and add the remaining oil.
  • Add the onions and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are slightly browned and start to turn translucent. Then add the ginger and green chili. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add the tomato puree, turmeric, chili powder, and cayenne powder if using. Cook for about 8 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the sides.
  • Add the green peas with 1 cup of water. Bring this all to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes with a lid.
  • Add the cooked mushrooms and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes or until the gravy is at a desired consistency and the mushrooms are at the desired texture.
  • Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the garam masala and the fenugreek leaves.
  • Next add the cashew cream and stir well. Remove from the heat and garnish with cilantro.
  • Serve hot with bread (roti, naan) or rice.
