Stop Chopping Mushrooms! The Ultimate 10-Minute Garlic Curry
Are you tired of chopping mushrooms before dinner? Here’s a secret: You don’t have to. When you dry-roast mushrooms whole, you unlock a deeper, more savory flavor and achieve a perfect, firm texture that just doesn’t happen when you chop them into pieces. This Garlic Mushroom Curry is the definition of a “Quick Fix”—it’s healthy, plant-based, and comes together in just 10 minutes.
Instructions
- Heat 1 tbsp oil/butter in a pan. Sauté your rice for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the fresh cilantro just before removing from the heat.
- In a non-stick pan, add your whole mushrooms. Dry roast over medium heat until they become shiny and tender. Set aside.
- In a separate stainless steel pan, heat 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté for 20-30 seconds until aromatic.
- Add the oregano, chili flakes, salt, and onion powder to the garlic.
- Stir in 1 tsp of flour and cook for a few seconds until it looks bubbly and smells aromatic. Pour in 1/4 cup of water and let it simmer into a thick sauce.
- Add the dry-roasted mushrooms to the sauce. Mix well until perfectly coated. If the curry is too dry, add a splash more water.
- Enjoy hot, paired with your prepared cilantro rice.
💡 Chef’s Notes
Make sure your mushrooms are completely dry before putting them in the pan for the best roast!
