Karahi Mushrooms with Peas
- 50g of The Spice Tailor Butter Chicken Curry Paste
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 250g mushrooms (I use equal quantities of oyster, shitake and chestnut mushrooms), cleaned and sliced into 2 cm slices, I leave the oyster mushrooms whole or tear them in half if they are large
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 fat garlic cloves, peeled and made into a paste (I use a microplane grater)
- 2 medium tomatoes, blended
- ½ small red pepper, finely sliced
- Large handful of green peas
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp. single or vegan cream (optional)
- 1/3 tsp. garam masala, or to taste
- Small handful of freshly chopped coriander leaves to serve
- Heat the oil in a non-stick sauté pan. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook over a moderate heat until they are translucent and turning golden on the edges. Add the garlic and cook, while stirring, for 1 minute. Pour in the tomatoes and the peppers and cook over a high heat, stirring occasionally, until the paste releases some oil into the pan, around 6-8 minutes.
- Add the peas, mushrooms and The Spice Tailor Paste along with a good splash of water and stir well together. Simmer for a few minutes, or until the mushrooms are done.
- Add the garam masala and a splash of hot water if the pan is looking dry. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in the coriander and cream and serve.
