Meaty cremini mushrooms play a starring role in a curry recipe inspired by the flavors of tikka masala and butter chicken. Those dishes often call for copious amounts of butter, yogurt and cream. But the cooks at Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street lighten things up by swapping the dairy for cashews pureed with water until smooth.
Many recipes for Indian curries such as tikka masala and butter chicken call for copious amounts of butter, yogurt and cream to give them a rich, satisfying texture. For a lighter vegetarian interpretation of the takeout classic, meaty cremini mushrooms stand in for chicken and pureed cashews make up the base of the curry.
The puree then is cooked with an aromatic mixture of onion, garlic, ginger, garam masala and paprika until it begins to brown, concentrating the flavors. Canned tomatoes and water are added to release any browned bits and ensure no flavor is left behind on the pan. Cremini mushrooms are simmered until tender and the sauce is creamy. If you have only white mushrooms on hand, they’ll work well, too.
In a blender, combine the ½ cup cashews and ⅓ cup water; soak for about 10 minutes. Puree on high until smooth, scraping the jar as needed, 1 to 2 minutes; set aside.
