Simple Mushroom Curry
Ingredients:
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
6 cloves garlic
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon tomato paste
about 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or to taste)
olive oil (for sauteing)
Directions:
Saute onion in olive oil for 3-4 minutes. Next, add garlic and saute for an additional minute.
Now, add cumin, coriander, chili and turmeric and continue to cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add water if the mixture becomes dry - do so one tablespoon at a time to avoid making the mixture too runny.
Finally, add the mushrooms, tomato paste and salt. You can add more water (anywhere from 3 tablespoons to 1/2 cup depending on the consistency that you personally want to achieve.) Lower the heat to a simmer, cover and allow to cook for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the chopped fresh cilantro. (my hubby doesn't like cilantro, so I omit it for him and he still likes the recipe. I, personally, think the cilantro adds a wonderful flavor to the recipe.)
I serve this dish over a plate of couscous.
