Mushroom Rogan Josh

This is a very tasty curry. The mushrooms make a tasty alternative to meat. This was given to me by a dear indian friend.

---

Steps

---

Heat the oil in a large pan.

---

Add cardamom pods , bay leaves , black peppercorns , cloves and cinnamon.

---

Wait until the cloves swell up or the bay leaves begin to take on colour.

---

This just takes a few seconds.

---

Now add chopped onions , stir and fry until they are golden brown.

---

Turn heat to low and add garlic , ginger , chillies , coriander powder , cumin powder , salt , garam masala , paprika , tomato puree and stir to mix.

---

Cool this mixture by placing pan into a bowl of cold water.

---

Now put in a tablespoon of yoghurt one spoon at a time incorporating it into the sauce each time before adding any more.

---

Then add mushrooms and stir to mix.

---

Turn heat to medium low , cover and simmer for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and turned fairly thick or until the mushrooms are cooked.
