Ingredients

    For the sauce

    1 tablespoons vegetable oil
    3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
    1 large onion, minced
    2 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste
    3 medium sized ripe tomatoes, pureed
    1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
    ½ teaspoon cumin powder
    1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder or according to taste
    2 tablespoons dry kasoori methi (= fenugreek leaves)
    2 tablespoons heavy cream (omitted)
    Salt

    For the vegetables

    9oz fresh white button mushrooms (about 15 mushrooms)
    1 large green or red bell pepper, cubed
    ¼ teaspoon turmeric
    ¼ teaspoon chili powder, or to taste
    1/4 cup whole Greek yogurt or strained yogurt
    1 tablespoon oil

Directions

Heat oil in a wok, and add the cumin seeds. (I skipped this and added extra cumin with the rest of the spices)

When they begin to sizzle add the onion. Cook on medium heat till onion is brown. Then add the ginger garlic paste and stir for about 45 seconds. Pour in the tomato puree and sprinkle the coriander, cumin, turmeric and chili powders.

Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer, and let the gravy cook for about 12 minutes or till it thickens and oil floats on top. (Canned tomato puree will cook in lesser time). If the sauce gets too thick add ½ cup water whenever needed.

While the sauce is cooking, work on the mushrooms. Wipe the mushrooms clean with a paper towel. If the mushrooms are large, cut them in half, if not leave them whole. Mix together the mushrooms, pepper, turmeric, chili powder, and yogurt and set side.

Heat a large skillet and add oil. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and peppers. Make sure you don’t crowd the pan; do this in batches if needed. Cook the mushroom and peppers on medium heat, till they start to brown a little. Don’t move the mushrooms around too much, they wont brown.

When the tomato sauce is done, add the sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers to it. Also add kasoori methi and sat. Cook on medium heat for about 3 minutes or till the peppers are cooked. Turn off heat and stir in heavy cream if using. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
