Notes
- Use pre-sliced organic cremini mushrooms so that you will have less prep work to complete before you start.
- You could also use tomato paste instead of fresh tomatoes, which will give better color and texture to the curry. Use 1-2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
- In the end, you can add ¼ cup of full-fat coconut milk for a creamy and rich flavor. But this is totally optional.
