Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 30 mins | Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
2 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 cup mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
2 medium onions, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Brown rice, cooked according to package instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start browning, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the diced onions to the pan and sauté until they are translucent and starting to caramelize, about 7-8 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Pro Cooking Tips:
To bring out the natural sweetness in the mushrooms, add a pinch of sugar towards the end of their cooking time.
Use high-quality spices to ensure the best flavor. You can also adjust the spice levels to suit your taste preferences.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the spinach and mushroom curry over cooked brown rice, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of raita (yogurt and cucumber sauce) for added creaminess.
Offer naan bread or roti on the side for a satisfying meal that’s perfect for a chilly evening.
