Method
1
Deseed the dried Kashmiri chillies and soak them in 1.5 tbsp malt vinegar for 30 minutes to soften.
Approx. 30 minutes
2
Peel the garlic cloves and ginger. Halve or quarter the mushrooms if large. Peel and cut the potatoes into 3cm chunks. Finely dice the onion. Roughly chop the fresh coriander.
Approx. 10 minutes
3
In a blender, combine the soaked chillies with their vinegar, garlic, ginger, cumin seeds, peppercorns, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves, and the additional 0.5 tbsp malt vinegar. Blend to a smooth paste and set aside.
Approx. 3 minutes
4
Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large heavy pan over high heat. Add the mushrooms in a single layer and cook for 6–8 minutes without stirring until deeply golden. Season with salt and transfer to a plate.
Approx. 8 minutes
5
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 0.5 tbsp oil. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes until deep golden.
Approx. 10 minutes
6
Stir in the vindaloo paste and tomato purée. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the paste smells fragrant and the oil starts to separate.
Approx. 3 minutes
7
Add the tinned chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, and sugar. Stir well to combine.
Approx. 1 minutes
8
Add the potato chunks and stir to coat. Cover the pan and cook over medium-low heat for 20 minutes until the potatoes are almost tender.
Approx. 20 minutes
9
Return the golden mushrooms to the pan. Cook uncovered for 8 minutes until the potatoes are completely tender and the sauce has thickened.
Approx. 8 minutes
