This recipe is easily made vegan. Simply omit the optional fresh cream or replace it with 2-3 tablespoons of cashew cream or full-fat coconut milk.
For a heartier curry, add 150g of cubed paneer along with the mushrooms and peas. Lightly pan-fry the paneer cubes before adding for better texture.
To increase the heat, add 1-2 slit green chilies along with the onions during the sautéing step.
For a richer, 'shahi' (royal) version, add a paste of 10 soaked cashews and 1 tablespoon of melon seeds (magaz) along with the tomato puree. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
