Instructions

1. Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4. Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan, cooking until they release their moisture and begin to brown, about 5-6 minutes.
5. Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and continue to cook until they soften, around 3-4 minutes.
6. In a small bowl, combine the curry powder, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
7. Add the spice mixture to the pan, stirring thoroughly to coat the mushrooms and tomatoes with the spices.
8. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more salt or chili powder if desired.
10. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with steamed rice or naan bread.
