Ingredients:

1-2 pack of button mushrooms (about 3 cups, sliced if big and whole if small)
1 small onion, chopped
1″ ginger chopped
3 cloves garlic
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 Tbsp cumin powder
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp garam masala
2 dried red chilies, with seeds (crumbled)
2 chopped serrano chilies (seeds or not, depending on how brave you are)
1 tbsp white vinegar
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tbsps chopped cilantro leaves
2 tbsps olive oil
Salt to taste

Directions:
1. Grind onions, garlic, serrano chilies, and ginger into a fine paste (I use a mini food-processor, but a mortar and pestle should work too).
3. Heat oil in a pan; add the onion, garlic, ginger and chili paste and saute on medium heat until the raw smell of the onion is gone and the mixture has turned slightly golden (about 5 min.).
4. Now add the crushed tomatoes, turmeric, red chilies, garam masala powder, cumin powder,ground coriander and saute well for about 3-4 minutes until well blended and the spices are fragrant.

5. Add the yogurt, salt and mushrooms and simmer for about 20-30 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked to the desired consistency.
6. Add white vinegar and simmer for few more minutes.
7. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
