Absolutely! This recipe is naturally vegan as it uses vegetable oil and a cashew paste for creaminess. Just ensure you don't add any dairy products like ghee or heavy cream.
If you don't have cashews, you can substitute with 15 blanched almonds, 2 tablespoons of melon seeds (magaz), or 3 tablespoons of full-fat coconut milk added at the end for a similar creamy texture.
The key is to sauté the mushrooms on medium-high heat until all their moisture has evaporated and they are nicely browned. This develops their flavor and prevents a rubbery texture. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
