This makes a great vegetarian curry dish or side. The gentle spice means that it is not too hot, although you could add more chilli if you prefer. Any type of mushrooms can be used; button mushrooms work well, but larger mushrooms work too. If the sauce is too dry sprinkle a few drops of water in until you get the desired consistency and make sure you check the seasoning at the end. Top with some fresh coriander for a bit more colour and serve with plain rice or a pilau rice or just some Indian breads like naan or chapatti.
