Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling while you're cooking.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh mushrooms and okra will give your curry the best flavor. If you can't find fresh okra, you can use frozen okra, but be sure to thaw it before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the mushrooms and okra, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the curry: Once you've added all the ingredients to the pot, bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve with rice or bread: Mushroom and okra curry is traditionally served with rice or bread. You can also serve it with naan or roti.
