Creamy mushroom fans: Here is a saucy Indian gravy that uses the power of mushrooms to give you a cozy fall dish in less than an hour. It’s made with a mix of mushrooms (crimini, button, oyster, and beech) but will be great using just one variety as well. Deglazing the fond with water ensures you get those delicious browned bits at the bottom of the pot, and adding heavy cream provides richness while rounding out the spices. Don’t forget to sauté the mushrooms in batches; it may seem like an unnecessary step, but it will create caramelized edges, further adding richness to your spiced gravy. Use green beans or snap peas for more texture and an extra helping of vegetables.
