Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook Time: 35 mins | Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
– 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon ground coriander
– 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
– 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
– 1/2 teaspoon garam masala powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups brown rice
– 2 cups water
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 cup lukewarm water
– 1/4 cup plain yogurt
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s translucent and slightly caramelized. This will take about 8-10 minutes, so be patient and stir occasionally.
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 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Pro Cooking Tips:
– To get the best flavor out of your spinach, add it towards the end of cooking time. This way, it retains its vibrant green color and nutrients.
– Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking the mushrooms. Cook them in batches if necessary, to ensure they have enough room to cook evenly.

Serving Suggestions:
– Serve the curry over a bed of fluffy brown rice, garnished with toasted nuts or a sprinkle of garam masala powder.
– Pair it with a side of Garlic Naan, perfect for sopping up the rich and creamy sauce. Simply brush the naan with melted butter and sprinkle with minced garlic before serving.
