Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 30 mins | Servings: 4-6
Ingredients:
– 1 pound mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), cleaned and sliced
– 2 medium onions, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
– 1 can (14 oz) butterbeans, drained and rinsed
– 2 medium tomatoes, diced
– 2 teaspoons cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon coriander powder
– 1 teaspoon garam masala powder
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 tablespoons tomato puree
– 1 cup water
– 4-6 Garlic Naan (store-bought or homemade)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 10 seconds. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are lightly browned (about 5 minutes).
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant. Then, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and start to brown (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the coriander powder, garam masala powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir well to combine. Cook for 1 minute, allowing the spices to meld.
4. Add the diced tomatoes, butterbeans, tomato puree, and water. Stir well to combine.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
6. Stir in the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted.
7. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using store-bought Naan, follow the package instructions to warm it up. If making homemade Naan, follow a recipe like this one and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Pro Cooking Tips:
– To enhance the flavor of the curry, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before serving, allowing the spices to meld further.
– For an extra creamy curry, add 1-2 tablespoons of heavy cream or coconut cream just before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
– Serve the Mushroom Mattar Curry over steaming basmati rice or with Garlic Naan for a flavorful and filling meal.
– Pair it with a side of roasted vegetables, raita (a yogurt and cucumber sauce), or a simple green salad for a well-rounded meal.
– For a more substantial meal, serve with a side of basmati pilaf, roasted potatoes, or a flavorful vegetable dish.
