Mushrooms in a Chilli Cashew Gravy

A few of my recipes have been in draft for way too long. This is because I love to try out something new every day and depending on the occasion or my mood the new ones supercede the older ones. I am going to make a genuine effort to post those recipes first. So guess what kind of recipe was long due on my blog ? A vegetarian one of course! It’s been ages since I posted a ‘pure veg’ recipe.

Since mushrooms are my absolute favourite among all other veggies I was keen to try this recipe as soon as I had read it in a magazine. Although I am a lover of vegetarian dishes I don’t know to make too many varieties. I usually prefer to eat veggies as sides to chapathis and this dish was simply perfect! All of us thoroughly enjoyed this preparation & I would urge you to give it a try once. However, do note that the cashew base for this curry is really rich in terms of calories and may not be ideal for weight watchers & the diet conscious. If poppy seeds are available where you live, I suggest you substitute it as required. You will get the same consistency & thickness for the gravy with fewer calories.
