Mushroom and chickpea tikka masala

Amanda Logan

Tender chickpeas and meaty pulled oyster mushrooms are cooked to perfection in a luxurious creamy sauce to create this irresistible plant-powered tikka masala. 

Ingredients

Serves 4

TO SERVE

Method

  1. Trim and discard the woody bases of the king oyster mushrooms (about 2½ cm from the bottom) and then wipe the mushrooms with a clean cloth to remove any grit. Carefully drag the prongs of a fork down the length of the mushroom to shred the mushroom ‘meat’. Set aside. 
  2. In a large, heavy-based pan, heat the oil over medium heat and add the onion. Cook for 5 minutes, or until soft. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant. Add the spices and nutritional yeast and stir well to combine. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the shredded mushrooms to coat them in the spice mixture. 
  3. Add the tomato passata, tomato paste, coconut milk, stock, water and salt, and stir well. Bring the mixture up to a soft boil before reducing the heat to low and cooking, uncovered, for 40 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. 
  4. Stir through the baby spinach and vegan butter spread. Serve with pappadums or vegan naan bread.
