Veg Kandy Gravy

 

 

In a food processor, place 5 onions roughly chopped, 2 big cloves of garlic and one chilli and process to a very fine wet mince. 

Heat oil in a kadai and add the following: 

1 pinch of mustard seeds, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds,
1 bay leaf, 1 cardamom pod, 1 piece of seaweed (kadal paasi)
some  bits of pattai, 2 petals of star anise, some peppercorns
Let them splatter and add about 10 mint leaves
Then add the onion mince. Add more mint leaves, about 20. On low cook for a long time, allowing the onions to brown. 
Add three medium tomatoes that were also minced in the food processor
Keep cooking till well cooked.

Set aside to cool. Whilst that was cooking, thaw peas, cube the paneer and deep fry without any marination or spices till golden brown. Remove to paper.To the same oil, add quartered mushrooms and remove when slightly colored.

Grind the cooked mince to paste with some sea salt, and towards the end, grind with thick yogurt, including the cream part on top, about 2 tbsps. Do not remove any of the whole spices while grinding.

In the same kadai, add oil, add the paste and add to it the prepared trio. Season with salt and add turmeric powder. Add Kashmiri chilli powder for spice and color. Add the water used to wash out the blender and cook uncovered.
