    Heat the Ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering.

    Add the onion and cook until golden and softened, 6-8 minutes, stirring so it doesn't catch.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic plus the garam masala, ground coriander and red chili powder; toast for about a minute until the kitchen smells incredible.

  4. 4

    Add the mushrooms, turning every piece through the spice base so it's fully coated, and sear lightly.

    Uncover and reduce until the sauce clings to a spoon. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.

Chef's tip

For deeper flavour, toast the garam masala in the oil before adding anything wet.
