Ok let’s start by chopping the mushrooms.

Mix of Crimini, Enoki and Japanese

The mix frying in a pan in olive oil

Two cans of red kidneys beans washed MANY TIMES to get rid of the liquid

Mushrooms perfectly fried and ready to be blended

Adding a dollop of miso and ginger

Everything mixed together mushrooms .. miso, mushrooms, ginger and half cup of water and milk

Blend like crazy until it’s all creamy and delicious (never added any cream). Add a pinch of hot pepper. Put back into wok, dilute with a little milk until it’s soupy and bring back to boil

Meanwhile fry one finely chopped onion mixed with 1 tbsp of the original spice mix (cumin, coriander, red chili roasted) and 1/2 tbsp of tumeric.

Once the onion spice mix is golden brown, add 1 tbsp of grated ginger and 1 tbsp of grated garlic. Add the beans and fry

It should look like this

Add salt, a whole cup of water, and a dollop of butter. Use your cooking spoon to mash some of the beans into the “curry”

This is how it looks now in a copper pot

Now add 1 freshly chopped RIPE TOMATO, a tiny slick of mustard oil, and a pinch of sugar.

Simmer slowly FOR A WHILE

Add a pinch of garam masala, and cilantro leaves.

Finish with a dollop of yoghurt and cilantro leaves (post garam masala)
