Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the chopped onions, and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Sprinkle in the ground coriander, turmeric powder, garam masala, and red chili powder, stirring well to coat the onions.
Pour in the tomato puree and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Add the sliced mushrooms and stir well to coat them in the spiced tomato mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to release their juices.
Stir in the frozen peas and coconut milk, and season with salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover and let the curry cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender and the curry has thickened slightly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or warm naan bread.
