Step 1

Open the can of coconut milk without disturbing it too much and spoon the thick cream at the top into a bowl. Leave the thin coconut milk in the can.

Step 2

Halve the mushrooms. Any large ones may be quartered. Place them all in a bowl and sprinkle the salt and turmeric over them. Wearing plastic gloves if you wish, as the turmeric can stain, thoroughly rub these flavourings into the mushrooms. Set aside for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Put the oil in a medium frying pan and set over a medium- high heat. When hot, add the shallots and stir-fry until they just start to brown. Take the pan off the heat and add the coriander and chilli powder. Stir a few times.

Step 4

Put the pan back on the hob, turning the heat to medium- low. Add the green chillies and stir a few times. Now add the mushrooms and their accumulated liquid. Stir and cook on a medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add 175 ml/6 fl oz of the thin coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Add 175 ml/6 fl oz of the coconut cream and stir to mix. Bring to a simmer over a medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to very low and simmer gently, uncovered, for about a minute, stirring now and then. Turn the heat off. Add the lime juice and stir it in
