Mushroom Masala is a luxuriously creamy and aromatic curry, showcasing tender button mushrooms in a velvety, spiced tomato and cashew gravy. The mushrooms lend a satisfying meaty texture, while whole spices like cardamom, cinnamon and cloves infuse the curry with warmth and depth. A dollop of yoghurt adds a subtle tang that balances the richness of the cashew paste.
