Instructions
Wash the mushrooms and slice them evenly. Set aside.
Rinse the okra and pat it dry. Trim the ends and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a thick paste.
Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Mix well.
Add the sliced mushrooms and okra to the pan. Stir to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the curry cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the okra is tender and the mushrooms are cooked through.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve the Mushroom and Okra Curry hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
