1/22 mughal mushroom curry

Oh man. Start this out by stir frying raisins, a green apple from the backyard, and blanched almonds (this gets fluffed into the jasmine rice).

I have a great cookbook called Silk Road Cooking (so far, its crowning achievement is a fava bean braise with dill and poached eggs). This curry is one of its offerings, and it was quite good. The basic components are sliced white and brown mushrooms, onions, 1 tomato (canned, this time of year), celery, garlic, ginger, serrano chiles*, and whole milk yogurt. Seasonings are 2 tsps garam masala and 2 tsps curry powder, salt, and pepper.

*I decided not to seed the chiles (2 of them) since I like spicy. Wow. This was hot. Hot. But in a good way. Damn. I had seconds.
