- 12 oz button mushrooms (or crimini mushrooms, finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (any vegetable oil is fine)
- 2 shallots (finely chopped-- can use onions instead)
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ inch piece ginger
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- 1 small jalapeno ( or other hot pepper, seeded and chopped. Adjust the amount of heat to your liking by using more or less)
- 2 tablespoon cilantro
- ½ teaspoon tamarind paste
- 2 tablespoon coconut milk
- Salt to taste
Place the ginger, garlic and chili pepper in a mortar and pestle and crush into a coarse paste. You can also do this in a food processor.
Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the shallots. Add some salt to draw out the moisture and saute until the onions turn golden-brown.
Add the coriander leaves and ginger-garlic-pepper paste and saute for a couple of minutes until fragrant. Then add the turmeric and garam masala along with the tamarind and the mushrooms. Add a cup of water (vegetable stock, if you have it, is even better) and let the curry come to a boil.
Place a lid on the saucepan and let the mushrooms simmer away for 10 minutes. If the curry looks dry, add more water or vegetable stock.
Add the coconut milk, add more salt if needed, and turn off the heat. Serve hot with rice.
