Ingredients:

  • 300g lion’s mane mushrooms, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece of ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds.
  2. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
  3. Add minced ginger and garlic and sauté for another minute.
