Ingredients
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced. (Use any variety you have or like or a mixture of varieties)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen green peas
  • 1 medium red or white onion, finely chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, chopped or minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped or grated
  • 2 medium tomatoes, diced
  • 1 tbsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • ½ tsp cayenne or other red chili powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 2 TBLS cashews unsoaked OR ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 heaping tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp sweetener such as coconut sugar, date sugar, coconut nectar (optional)
  • Ground black pepper and salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Heat a saucepan and add the onion, garlic and ginger.

  3. Add the tomatoes along with the coriander powder, cumin powder, cayenne, and turmeric.
  4. Stir well, cover, and cook for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes are very soft and mushy.
  5. Add the mushrooms to the pan along with salt and pepper.
  6. Stir-fry the mushrooms until they begin to caramelize, about three to four minutes.
  7. Add the peas, cover and cook for a few minutes until peas are tender but still al dente and bright green.
  8. If you are using cashews instead of coconut milk, add 1 cup of cold water and the cashews to your blender and blend until smooth.
  9. Add the blended cashews or coconut milk to the pan and stir.
  10. Add the garam masala and add more salt if needed.
  11. Add a little more water if the sauce looks too dry.
  12. Stir in the sweetener (optional).
  13. Heat until mixture comes to a boil.
