I enjoy sharing all my recipes with you, but the ones that make me proudest are those quick weeknight dishes that take minutes to throw together, but taste incredible.This spinach-mushroom curry is such a recipe. It takes a minimum of ingredients, is super-nutritious, and tastes great with either rice or chapatis or even any storebought bread.Since it is a weeknight, I’ll stay off the rambling. Enjoy the Mushroom Spinach Curry, everyone!

Amazing how a dish that you posted three years ago is what I want to eat today. Your passion for food really shows in the way your recipes are relevant long after you post them. I hope, like several others I’m sure, that you’ll keep cooking and writing for a very long time to come. 🙂
I have bought fresh mushrooms and spinach. I could not wait to cook them since they are sooo freshhhhhhh! Then I got an idea to cook mushrooms and spinach together and see how the result will be, but I have no clue how to cook them together… I wanted to cook some gravy kind… so I searched online and viola! I found your recipe… It satisfied all my criteria mushrooms, spinach, gravy… moreover I like the idea of sambhar powder in it…so I cooked immediately and the end result is awesome. Thank you so much… Btw, you have a nice blog! 🙂

cooked this for dinner.used curry powder and added green chillies,red chilli powder,black pepper(a little bit of each one of the spices) and a bit of coriander powder.I used fresh spinach and before adding the coconut milk I dried all the water in the pan(dont like a lot of gravy). the ingredients were well out of my comfort zone but loved the end result.lets hope hubby likes it too(not home yet).keeping my fingers crossed.
Yummy, just made this for lunch. I added some cubes of plain tofu to it and cooked it for a little bit longer so the flavours infused the tofu. Delicious!
