will this work?

Daughter turned vegetarian a few months ago and I am still experimenting. Looking in the fridge/ cupboard for this evening I was wondering if it would be possible put cook mushrooms and chickpeas in a Korma sauce? I am trying to get her into curry, but she will only eat korma so far.

The sauce is bottled I must confess, but combining single parenthood with a demanding job (and a riduculous amount of time on mse ) means I have to cut some corners.

Can't see why not, sounds like the sort of thing I do when I've got odd bits in the cupboard. OH despairs of me but I like what is produced at the end of it!

Good luck!

Ooh, yes, it will be lovely!

I usually make mushroom and tofu korma, and chuck in a couple of tablespoons of chopped cashews if I have them on hand. One of my favourites.

Sounds nice - what about frying off a few cubes of potato and an onion and adding them to it too?

If the chickpeas are dried you need to soak them overnight.

They are tinned so should be ok?

CHick pea and potato curry is noce, then you could save the mushrooms to make creamed mushrooms (mushrooms in a white sauce with garlic and parsley - nice on granary toast!)
How old is DD? When I became veggie at 14 I cooked my own food, and by 15 was cooking everyone else's too LOL;)

DD is 14 too! She absolutely hates cooking. She has killed several pans by going off and forgetting something is cooking :rotfl: I don't think there is any chance of her taking over the family cooking sadly...
