Easy masala mushrooms

I recently reintroduced garlic back into my diet with disastrous consequences.  After a few days of moping about never being able to eat garlic mushrooms again I decided to create an allergen free mushroom dish.   The yogurt makes this low fat recipe taste much richer than you would expect whilst also muting the intensity of the spices.  If your chillies are very hot, either reduce the amount you add when cooking, or serve with additional yogurt on the side.  We eat this with toasted rye bread but if wheat is not an issue, I recommend a crusty loaf on the side to dip into the piquant juices.
