Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, ginger and spices: garam masala and turmeric. Mix until the everything is completely coated. Cook until softened about 4 to 6 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods and whole clove.
  • To the blender, add cooked onion mixture and can of diced tomatoes. Blend until smooth. Give it a taste and adjust the salt to your liking. I added a few pinches.
  • To the same Dutch oven, no need to wash it out, add a few teaspoons of oil. When warm, add the mushrooms. Cook until softened, about 5 to 6 minutes. Pour the sauce back into the pot and mix. Bring up to a simmer and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
