Method

How to make the sauce:

1. Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over a medium heat. Add the chopped onion and salt and cook, stirring often, until the onion has gone translucent, about 3 minutes.

2. Add the garlic and harbanero (optional) and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the coriander and cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute.

3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir the flour in. Then replace on a medium heat and stir about 2 minutes. Gradually pour in milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Once you are content with the consistency of the sauce add the mushrooms and simmer gently for 5 minutes stirring regularly.
