Instructions

Saute the onions, garlic, and fresh ginger in coconut oil over medium-high heat until softened.
This should only take a couple of minutes.
Now dry fry with the herbs and spice powder for 1 minute while stirring continuously.
This should release the flavours from the spice mix
Add the mushrooms and fry over medium heat while stirring for 5 minutes.
They should all be coated in the spices, golden brown, and softened.
Now add the tomatoes, stock cubes, and balsamic vinegar.
Then stir and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the peanut butter until melted.
This should now look like a thick gravy.
Now stir in the coconut milk and spinach, then warm up over low heat until the leaves have wilted.
To finish, stir in the lime juice, sesame seed oil and garnish with coriander before serving.

Notes

Try to use the best quality mushrooms you can as it is the key ingredient

Avoid boiling the coconut milk as it can split and destroy its properties, making it no longer taste creamy

For a thicker curry, use half the amount of coconut milk, or see FAQs on more ideas on how to thicken a curry sauce
