Cooking Tips
Make sure to keep the mushroom chunky because if chop them into small pieces they will get lost in the sauce.
If you want to add other plant-based protein such as canned chickpeas, drain and add once mixing the tomato sauce.
Want a spicier curry? Add a hot sauce such as harissa or pepper flakes.
Add extra flavor but serving the mushroom curry with a few tablespoons of mango chutney.
You may add other vegetables before cooking (chop them into similar size if possible so they cook evenly), or you may add 1-2 cups of spinach and let sit for 2-3 minutes before adding the lime juice.
StorageStore mushroom curry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You may freeze it for up to 2 months but be aware that once thawed it becomes a bit watery. One thing that you can do to fix it, it is to reheat, uncovered, over low heat, and let the sauce reduce a little bit. Then stir well a few spoonfuls of either coconut cream or yogurt. They have a thick consistency and will make the curry creamy again.
