Taazi Khumben Alu Mattar Kar - or curried mushrooms, potatoes and peas to you and me.

This is slightly adapted from a recipe in Charmaine Solomon's Complete Asian Cookbook

Directions

Heat the oil and fry the onion for a few minutes

Add ginger and garlic and fry for a couple more minutes

Add turmeric and chilli powder and fry for 1 more minute

Add the mushrooms and potatoes and the water and salt and give it a stir

Put the lid on and cook it gently for 15 minutes

Add the Garam Masala and coriander and give it a stir, put the lid back on and cook for another 15 minutes or a bit longer if the potatoes need it

Ingredients

  • 400g mushrooms
  • 400g small new potatoes (waxy)
  • frozen peas - you can guess the amount, about a cupful
  • 1 tblsp oil
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1 tsp chopped or grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove of garlic, crushed or finely chopped

Spanish

Spanish has three nationalities: British, Irish and Australian due to a series of accidents. Spanish is not one of them,

Mark was born in Australia in 1966 and has lived on a damp, cold island off the coast of France (the locals call it "Blighty") since 1970. Educated in the State School System (proudly), his teachers unanimously agreed he had raised indolence and mediocrity to world-class levels.

In sport, he excelled at outrunning the bigger kids to avoid a regular hiding. These traits have seen him through several aimless career changes and now, in his 50s, he finds himself wondering what he will do when he grows up.

But, he loves his family and he can cook a bit.
