Easy 5 Minutes Creamy Mushroom Curry in Indian Style

This is a quick mushroom curry I would love to make with my ready-to-make curry paste. This saves a lot of time and patience.

We all know how difficult it is to spend hours in the kitchen. So we are looking for great recipes and ideas to reduce that cooking time so we can spend time with our family and kids. I have adopted one trick from my mom and shared it in a previous blog: ready-to-use Indian curry paste. Prepare the curry paste, store it in the refrigerator, and use it for different curries. This paste can be stored for up to a week or more.

Mushrooms have a high water content and release a lot of water into the gravy. So, never add excess water while cooking mushrooms.

How to make this quick mushroom curry?

Add mushrooms and saute for 2 - 3 minutes on high flame. The mushrooms will release water into the pan and cook quickly. While the mushrooms are cooking, cook the curry paste in another pan and add a tsp of tomato paste or tomato puree (1 tomato). This will reduce the cooking time.

Then, once the tomato puree is infused with curry paste and spices, add the stir-fried mushrooms and a little hot water to the gravy. Simmer for another 2 - 3 minutes; taste and adjust salt to taste. Add fresh coriander (cilantro leaves) with a sprinkle of garam masala (optional) to the curry. And the delicious mushroom curry will be ready in minutes.
