Tis Divali time, which means fasting time, so tonight I made some Mushroom Mutter; a traditional Indian dish, and of course modified here with a bit of a Trini kick. I absolutely love this dish and I make it all the time, even if I am guilty of not sharing it before today. Now, as you are going through the list of ingredients, before you start telling me that you can’t find this or that, I found everything at Tru Valu. So, let the yumminess begin. ^.^
