Nawabi Guchhi

Stolen from : Nita Mehta's "Vegetarian Curries" p. 90

100g mushrooms - cut into halves
1 cup shelled peas
1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
2 tbsp fresh chopped coriander
3/4 tsp salt

Nawabi Paste
2 onions
1" piece ginger
1/4 cup kaju (cashewnuts)
1/2 tsp shani jeera (black cumin)
1/2 jeera seeds (cumin seeds)
1 green chilli
1 dry red chilli

Grind all the stuff for the paste together with a bit of water.
Fry it until rich golden colour, adding a bit of water as you go along to keep it from burning.
Add garam masala and chilli powder, give it a good stir.
Add 1/2 cup water & bring to boil.
Add mushrooms and peas and cook for 4-5 mins on low.
Add 1 cup water & 1 tbsp coriander leaves, keep simmering until veg is cooked.
Other coriander leaves are for the garnish.
