Can I use fresh button mushrooms?
Yes, you can.
Can I use other types of mushrooms to make the curry?
Honestly, I have no idea, you might be able to make the same mushroom curry but there might be a change in taste.
I would suggest only using button mushrooms for the recipe.
Substitute I can use instead of coconut milk for the mushroom gravy?
You can use any type of cooking cream out there, a tablespoon or two would do.
But I find using coconut milk and reducing into a thick consistency is how you make a good mushroom gravy.
Utensils and appliances
All you need to make this quick dish is your favorite skillet or a medium-sized pan.
