Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or any vegetable oil)
  • ½ recipe Indian curry paste
  • 8 oz seitan crumbles
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms (or button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms or oyster mushrooms. You can also use wild dry mushrooms, reconstituted)
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves. Crush between your palms before adding to pot)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Salt to taste
  • 3 scallions (trimmed, green and white parts chopped. Optional. You can also use cilantro.)

Instructions

  • Heat coconut oil in large pot or Dutch oven. Add curry paste. Mix well, cover, and let the curry paste cook 10 minutes over low heat, stirring frequently, until glossy.
  • Add the mushrooms and seitan crumbles to the pot. Add 1 cup water, mix, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for another five minutes to let the flavors incorporate.
  • Stir in coconut milk and kasoori methi. Mix. Finally stir in the sugar and mix well. Add salt to taste and turn off heat. Garnish with scallions, if using, or with cilantro.

Storage instructions
  • Refrigerate. Store the curry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. This curry tastes even better the next day, so it's a great recipe to make in advance.
  • Freeze. Freeze in a freezer-safe container for up to three months.
  • Reheat. Thaw and reheat in microwave or on stovetop until warmed through.
