Hi Andy

I currently use this one that I adapted from an original post on here by Haldi.  It looks and tastes as good as I can make it so far......but as usual, could do with some work!  Anyway, give it a try and see what you think. 

ADAPTATION OF HALDI?S MUSHROOM BHAJEE

Ingredients:
3 tbsp oil
1 heaped tbsp onion
? large green capsicum cut into ?" strips
2 tbsp basic curry sauce
1 heaped tsp tomato puree diluted with 4 tsp water
1 tbsp garlic/ginger paste - a 60:40 ratio of garlic to ginger
1 desert spoon (dsp) spice mix - I currently use AbdulMohed's
1 tsp chilli powder
? tsp salt
? pint basic curry sauce
Small can mushrooms (drained and washed to remove salt)
1 tsp sugar (optional)
1 small fresh tomato cut into quarters

Method:

1.   In a separate pan, heat curry base to a gentle simmer
2.   Heat 3tbsp oil in a suitable pan - I use a wok - on high heat
3.   Add onion, green pepper & salt and fry for a couple of minutes or so stirring continuously
4.   Add garlic/ginger & fry for about a minute, stirring all the time
5.   Remove from heat & add chilli powder and spice mix.  Stir and return to heat. 
6.   Immediately add tomato puree & fry for 30 seconds or so on high heat stirring continuously
7.   Add 2tbsp basic curry sauce, stir for 1 minute & add ? pint of base gravy 2 tbsp at a time ? make sure first two are ?absorbed? before adding more
8.   Add small can mushrooms, fresh tomato + 1tsp sugar
9.   Cook on high heat for 3 minutes ? add water if it starts to dry out
10.     Reduce heat & simmer gently for 3 minutes
11.    Turn off the gas and let it ?rest? for about 5 minutes.
12.     SERVE AND ENJOY!!

Good cooking!

Hi again Andy

I just noticed that the fractions did not appear in the ingredients section of the recipe, so at the risk of repetition, they should read

0.25 large green pepper cut into 0.25 inch strips
Half tsp salt
Half pint (250ml) basic curry sauce.

Sorry for the confusion!
