Indian Style Mushrooms in a Tomato Sauce

DIRECTIONS

• Heat the oil in a medium sized saucepan over a medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and chilli and cook, stirring frequently, for 5-6 minutes. The onion should be soft but not browned.
• Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
• Add the cumin, coriander and chilli powder and cook, stirring, for one minute.
• Add the mushrooms, salt and tomato puree. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly blended.
• Sprinkle the water evenly over the mushrooms and reduce the heat to low.
• Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• The sauce should have thickened, but if it appears runny, cook, uncovered, for 3-4 minutes, or until you achieve the desired consistency.
• Transfer to a serving dish, sprinkle with the snipped chives and serve.
