Ingredients
- 100g chestnut or white mushrooms
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp black cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- ½ tsp garam masala
- ÂĽ tsp turmeric
- ½ tsp chilli powder
- 1 Tbsp tomato purée
- Salt & pepper
- Squeeze of lemon or lime juice
- 1 Tbsp chopped mint or coriander, to serve
Instructions
- Thinly slice the garlic and cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat the oil in a pan and fry the garlic for 30 second over medium heat, then add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
- Stir-fry for 10 seconds, then add the other spices and tomato purée. Stir for a minute, then add the mushrooms and a drop of water. Season with salt & pepper.
- Put a lid on and cook for about 8 minutes. The mushrooms should have released their water by now. If the sauce is too sticky, add some more water - if there is too much liquid, reduce it by turning up the heat. Cook for another 5 minutes or so, until you get a very thick sauce.
- Add some lemon or lime juice, then serve, garnished with fresh herbs.
