Tanzanian Inspired Mushroom Curry {Vegan}

Uuuuum, tonight is going to be a good night peeps. A very good night.  Because it is going to be mushroom curry night /movie night and date night all in one.

What that means is that I am putting the kiddoes to bed early and ignoring all the boring tasks I don’t like doing, along with all the task I actually DO like doing. All in the name of a movie with Freddy and lots and lots and lots of curry.

I don’t even know the name of the film we are watching. All I know is that I will be watching A MOVIE and eating a few helpings of this Tanzanian inspired mushroom curry, heaped high on some rice with a side helping of chutney.

Nuff said.

Why You’ll Love Tanzanian Inspired Mushroom Curry

So I think I’ve done a good job selling you on why I am looking forward to digging into a big bowl of Tanzanian Inspired Mushroom Curry, but you’re probably wondering ‘what’s in it for me?’

Well, I think when you take a look at that big, beautiful pan of mushroom curry, it’s pretty clear what’s in it for you: a whole lot of deliciousness. But here are a few more reasons why you’ll love mushroom curry…

• It only takes about 40 mins to make. Need a quick and flavourful dinner? Tanzanian Inspired Mushroom Curry takes about 5 mins to prep and 35 mins to cook — a perfect supper when you’re short on time.
• Mushrooms are nutrient-dense. Mushrooms are like little nutrition powerhouses. It’s believed that mushrooms have immune-boosting capabilities, are high in antioxidants, and contain a good amount of several key nutrients like B2, B3, B5, and copper.
• Each serving contains fewer than 200 calories. Even with the addition of some rice, the calorie count still keeps it firmly in the ‘healthy eating recipe’ category.
• It’s a vegan recipe. There are no animal products in this mushroom curry recipe. (If you don’t need a vegan curry recipe, try my 15 Min Thai Prawn Curry.)
• It’s curry. Hellooooo, good food. If you love curry like I do, maybe you should try my egg curry recipe too.

There is a lot to love about this mushroom curry.
