  4. 10 almonds, blanched and peeled
  5. 1 inch piece ginger
  6. 2 to 3 cloves of garlic
  7. 1 tsp coriander seeds
  8. ½ tsp saunf/fennel seeds
  9. 8 methi seeds/fenugreek seeds
  10. 10 peppercorns
  11. 3 green chillies/jalapenos/Serrano peppers
  12. Rest of the ingredients:

  15. 1 large tomato, cubed
  16. 1 bay leaf

  19. ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  20. ½ tsp sugar
  21. Salt to taste
  22. 2 tablespoons oil
  23. Roughly chop onions, ginger, garlic and green chilies.

Instructions

  1. In a blender jar, add onions, coconut, almonds, ginger, garlic, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and green chillies. Blend to a fine paste with a little water.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a kadai or deep saucepan; once the oil is hot, add cubed onions and saute on medium high heat for one minute until soft.
  3. Stir in chopped mushrooms and tomatoes and saute again on high for one minute or until the mushrooms start to wilt. Remove.
  4. In the same pan, add one more tablespoon of oil and stir in one bay leaf, cloves and green cardamom. Fry for a few seconds until they turn aromatic.
  5. Immediately, add the onion-almond paste along with ¼ tsp of turmeric powder, mix well and saute on medium high until it is well fried and most of the moisture is gone.
  6. Once the masala is well sautéed, add enough water to get gravy of your desired consistency. Add sautéed onions, mushrooms and tomatoes. Stir in salt to taste along with some sugar (to balance the flavors) and mix well.
  7. Bring to a boil. Adjust the consistency of the gravy. Do a taste test and add salt and sugar if needed. Simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend well and the whole mixture to get heated through well.
  8. Garnish with chopped cilantro, mix well and serve hot with a squeeze of lemon/lime juice (optional) Serve mushroom masala with almonds and tomatoes with any roti, paratha, naan etc. as well as toasted bread!
