Indian chanterelle and elk stew

Chanterelles are definitely not Indian, nor are mushrooms. These are "new" vegetables in India, like eggplant and okra in Norway. So what do you do in a fusion kitchen, you take what you have

In these autumn times, it is tempting to use moose and deer, to get a variation from the delicious chicken and minced meat. If you don't have moose or deer available, you can use something else – just remember to adjust the cooking time accordingly! You can of course cut out the chili or add more as desired in the recipe. I think the stew can be eaten as it is without anything else, but according to the test rabbits, it tasted good with rice.
