Mushroom Corn Cashew Curry
Mushroom Corn Cashew Curry
Corn and mushroom in tomato and spicy cashew gravy makes a delicious main dish. Cashews add a creamy and rich texture to the dish. This is a quick and easy recipe. This goes well with any Indian flat bread or plain rice.
Ingredients
- 3 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup corn kernel/ bhuta ka dana (I am using frozen corn kernels)
- 1/4 cup cashews (kaju)
- 2 cup tomato chopped
- 1 tbsp ginger chopped
- 1 tbsp green chili chopped
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tbsp cumin seed (jeera)
- 1/8 tbsp asafetida (hing)
- 1/4 tbsp turmeric (haldi)
- 1/4 tbsp red chili powder (lal mirch)
- 2 tbsp coriander powder (dhania)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped (hara dhania)
- Approx. 1-1/2 cup water
Instructions
- Blend the tomatoes, cashews, ginger and green chili to make creamy paste. Set aside.
- Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If the cumin seed cracks right away, the oil is ready.
- Add cumin seeds, asafetida as cumin seeds crack add tomato paste.
- Next add coriander; red chili powder, turmeric and salt. Lower the heat to medium and cook the spice mix for about 4-5 minutes until mix start leaving the side of the pan.
- Add corn and mushrooms, mix it well and add about 1-1/2 cups of water. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Corn and mushrooms should be tender and gravy should be thick in consistency.

Hi Manjula ji
I cooked this curry n everyone in my family liked it
Hema, thank you
I tried this recipe tonight and my hubby and I both really enjoyed it. It is very easy to make too which is a plus. I don’t know if you got my note about my husband loving the mushroom and peas recipe, while he doesn’t like peas but he asked that I make it again any time.
Thank you for your great site and videos. I spend hours, literally, watching them and enjoying it so much.

Made this receipe, turned out so yummy.
I tried. It is very quick and easy recipe. Thanks a
lot.
Manjula Aunty,
This recipe, like the others, is quite delicious – I especially like the Navaratan Korma. This recipe is a close second favorite, and one thing I have found helps immensely with its preparation, and others that require ground cashew/kaju is the recent popularity of cashew butter! I prefer to use tomato paste over just puree for most dishes, so when I make the dishes I use tomato paste and cashew butter, which cook down nicely before water is added to thin down the pastes to a sauce.
My Desi friends keep suspecting that I have a nice Indian girl at home when they taste my cooking – they can’t believe that it’s my handiwork, with inspiration from your site (and a couple others, but we are talking about YOUR recipes right now)!
Dear Manjula. I am a fan of your website and recipes. I did want you to know though, that asofetida (hing) does contain gluten. My daughter has celiac disease so I’ve been researching gluten free cooking. Thanks!
kind regards,
Annu
Annu, you should be able to find asafetida gluten free, there are always 3-4 brands of asafetida check the ingredients.
Annu, you should be able to find in Indian grocery store without gluten also

Made this tonight and it was delicious. I happened to have everything on hand which worked out perfectly. Quick, easy and tasty. Love this site. Never thought I would be cooking Indian food. My girlfriend kissed me after making the chana masala.
I tried. It is very quick and easy recipe. Thanks a lot.
mam can u pls tell me…
When we are making tomato paste , do we have to boil cashew firest of we have to use the cashew raw only… Pls riply..
Regards
🙂
Ria kumari, use the raw cashew
Maybe start with adding only 1/2 cup water. The mushrooms release a lot of liquid as they cook.
