I just invented the most delicious Indian dish to eat in a Chapatti. I put roasted (unsalted) peanuts, sesame seeds and dried coconut in a blender and made dust out of them. In a pan I put ghee and tempered till they crackled, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, asafetida, tumeric and curry leaves before adding one dried red pepper, one chopped onion, ginger/garlic paste, one small Serrano green pepper sliced in two and cooking them down before I added the coconut, sesame and peanut powder, let that roast, while I fried chopped Portabello mushrooms in ghee in another pan with asefitida ( a garlic, onion type spice) added two big chopped tomatoes, let them cook down, then about 2/3 box of Vegetable broth and ,.added to the masala a spoon of peanut butter, then added the mushrooms and about ten shallots {skinned) to the pot, some tamarind juice for tartness (lime juice would do it ) and some jaggery (could use brown sugar) for sweetness. and let it cook till the shallots were soft then added salt, peas (frozen) fresh cilantro leaves and chopped mint leaves all over the top. Warm chapattis and some basmati rice with Punjabi Masoor (red lentil) dal from last night and it is an incredibly good late night dinner.
