Ingredients Instructions Notes Nutrition

Ingredients 
 

  • 30 g Butter unsalted
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 1 cups Mushroom sliced
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Mixed herbs dried
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 cup Butter beans drained and rinsed
  • ½ cup Cashew cream substitution: coconut cream or heavy cream
  • 1 cup Low-fat milk substitution: almond milk or regular milk
  • 1 cup Spinach chopped
  • 2 slices Cheddar cheese optional, for garnish

Instructions 

  • Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onions and cook until they turn translucent and golden.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they become browned and soft, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the tomato paste, salt, paprika, mixed herbs, and garlic powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Add the butter beans and give everything a good stir to combine.
  • Pour in the cashew cream (or your chosen substitute) and mix well. Cover the pan and cook for 7-8 minutes, letting the flavors infuse.
  • Add the low-fat milk and stir the mixture, cooking until it begins to boil.
  • Add the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add a little more spinach.
  • After about 4-5 minutes, stir in the cheddar cheese slices and let them melt into the sauce. Remove from heat once it’s fully combined.

Rekha's Notes

  1. Don’t Overcook the Mushrooms: Allow the mushrooms to brown and release their flavor, but avoid overcooking them until they turn mushy.
  2. Season Well: Taste and adjust the seasoning as you go. Depending on your brand of tomato paste and butter beans, you might need more or less salt.
  3. Use a Heavy Pan: A wide, heavy-bottomed pan allows for better heat distribution and prevents sticking, ensuring an even cook.
  4. Let the Dish Rest: Allow the curry to sit for a few minutes before serving—it lets the flavors meld even more.
