CURRIED OKRA, MUSHROOMS AND GARBANZO BEANS

Steps:

• For the Relish: First you will want to peel your mango and then cut off the flesh from the pit.
• Place the mango in a bowl, and process it with a food processor, or simply mash it with a hand masher, whatever you choose to do.
• Mix in the rest of the ingredients and set aside.
• For the curry: In a clean food processor bowl, place the garlic, ginger, chiles and 3 tablespoons of water, and process until smooth.
• Next, heat your oil in a large saucepan, and add the whole coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds, allowing for the flavors to release a bit.
• Then add the ground cumin, the ground cardamom seeds, and turmeric and cook for about a minute or so.
• Then add the garlic paste that you made in the processor, along with the tomatoes and remaining water.
• Stir to mix well, and then add the mushrooms, okra, and garbanzo beans.
• Stir again, and then bring to a boil.
• Reduce your heat and then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and turn your heat up slightly and cook for about 8-10 more minutes (maybe less depending on your okra), until the okra is tender but not too soft (you dont want mushy okra).
• Remove from heat and add your chopped cilantro, stirring lightly.
• Serve with your mango relish and rice (I like it with basmati).
