    Palak mushroom curry recipe - This is Indian style of curry made with spinach and mushrooms.

    Palak Mushroom Recipe | Spinach Mushroom Recipe | Curry Recipe

    Spinach is one of our favorite greens. I do make spinach recipes very often during the winter season. As you know that spinach is very healthy and nutritious. Actually spinach is very bland, but if it is cooked properly and combined with other ingredients properly then it tastes fantastic. Trust me, try any one of my spinach gravy recipes (aloo palak, palak paneer, chana palak, corn palak), you will sure love the spinach.

    Mushroom is also full of nutrients like spinach. So combination of these two is very healthy. As being vegetarian, mushroom is one of good sources of protein for us. If you don’t know, mushrooms contain more than twice the amount of protein as other vegetables. Thus, I include mushrooms in my diet by making recipes.

    Mushrooms are cooked with few basic spices and added to the spinach gravy.

    The gravy is made from spinach, onion, tomato. Also cashew nut paste is added to make the gravy creamy and smooth.

    Variations:

    • For making this spinach mushroom curry, I have used white button mushrooms, you can use any other variety of your choice.
    • Cashew nut paste gives creamy texture to the gravy, It is optional though. Instead you can add heavy cream.

    Serving suggestions: Serve with plain rice or jeera rice. This can be served with roti/phulka or plain paratha, naan or ajwain paratha.
