Subtler flavour than many things from this particular book, but just as blissful.\u00a0 Served these last night with a spinach rice underneath, and the sour potatoes on the side.<\/p>\n
1 1\/2 lbs fresh mushrooms (I used baby portabella)<\/p>\n
2 T vegetable oil (I’ve taken to using sesame rather than olive oil for her recipes)<\/p>\n
A generous pinch of ground asafetida or approximately a 1\/8 inch lump<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp whole cumin seeds<\/p>\n
2 whole dried red peppers<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp ground turmeric<\/p>\n
1 c tomato sauce<\/p>\n
1 tsp salt<\/p>\n
Clean mushrooms.\u00a0 Chop off the woody end bits.<\/p>\n
Heat oil in 3 quart pot over medium heat, and put in the asafetida.\u00a0 It will sizzle and expand within 5 seconds.\u00a0 Now add the cumin seeds, and as soon as they darken (5 to 10 seconds), the red peppers.\u00a0 Stir once and add the turmeric and the mushrooms.\u00a0 Stir mushrooms for 1\/2 minute, and add the tomato sauce, 2 1\/2 c of water and the salt.\u00a0 Cover, lower heat, and simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n
They can be served immediately, but letting them sit for a couple hours in the juices and then reheating makes for a much better flavour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
