Notes
- Roasting – Roast the red chilies and coriander seeds to release their flavors, creating a aromatic flavor in the gravy. This is called kadai masala.
- Cream – If you prefer a lighter dish, you can reduce the amount of fresh cream or replace it with yogurt or cashew cream for a healthier option.
- Sauteing the vegetables – Toast the capsicum and onions separately for 2 minutes to bring out their natural sweetness and retain its crunch. This adds extra flavor and texture to the dish.
- Mushroom – Mushrooms cook quickly, so make sure not to overcook them. Sauté them for just a few minutes until they are tender and have absorbed the flavors of the spices.
- Spice Level – For a spicier dish, you can add extra green chilies or chili powder according to your heat preference. You can also add a pinch of red chili flakes for extra kick.
