Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 medium tomato, diced
1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
¾ teaspoon fine salt (not sea salt)
1 packet Moji Masala Mushroom Masala
Directions
Place a wide-based sauté pan on medium heat. When the pan is hot add the olive oil and sauté the garlic cloves for one minute.
Add the tomato and sauté, stirring continuously for about 4 minutes, until it releases all its water, softens, and breaks apart (see pic below).
Add the salt and the Mushroom Masala to the tomato, followed by 2 tablespoons of water, and blend well. Sauté the mixture for about a minute until you have a moist paste (see pics below).
Add the mushrooms and coat well with the tomato-masala paste.
Adjust the heat to medium-high. Sauté the mushrooms for about 10 minutes, stirring continuously until the water is released and they have softened. The water released from the mushrooms will help form the curry paste; add small amounts of water, if necessary to keep the masala paste moist.
