How to Make Shabnam Curry

  1. Cut 250g mushrooms into quarters.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan or pot over medium heat. Add 1 large chopped onion.
  3. Sauté the onions until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of ginger paste and 1 tablespoon of garlic paste with 2 tablespoons of water to create a smooth paste.
  5. Add the ginger-garlic paste to the onions and stir well.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the water has evaporated.
  7. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 teaspoon coriander powder.
  8. Sauté well for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  9. Add 250g grated tomatoes and sauté until the oil separates from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
  10. Add the quartered mushrooms and 100g frozen green peas.
  11. Mix well with the masala and add salt to taste (about 1 teaspoon or to preference).
  12. Fry for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  13. Add 3/4 cup (180ml) of water, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
  14. Once cooked, stir in 1 teaspoon garam masala and 2 tablespoons of cashew paste (made by blending soaked cashews).
  15. Cover and cook on low heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  16. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with roti or naan bread.
