I know many of you love mushrooms…But in our place this awesome vegetable is treated the same way always…
Like Mushroom Masala, Pepper Mushroom, Chettinad Mushroom or used as a stuffing or sautéd along with onions…..blah…blah…blah…I feel a little bored with these dishes…
One day I bought a packet of button mushrooms from a near by super market called Lynns which is located in our small city Nagercoil…And I was thinking what new dish can I try with that…Suddenly this one came to mind…
I can tell you it is such a spicy dish which is perfect with rice or roti..It is a typical South Indian dish..I got the inspiration for this dish from my mum who used to make potato in the same way..
The whole spices are roasted along with coconut ground and added into the curry…
I want to give you a warning…
Your house will smell so good while you roast the spices and make this curry..Your loved one will surely come near you and ask “WOW..What Magic are you doing in the kitchen..This smell makes me Hungry” like my sister said…
I hope you will try this…
So no more delay here you go for the recipe..
Ingrediants:
Mushroom-1 cup chopped
Onion-1 chopped
Tomato-2 chopped
Coriander powder / Malli podi-1 tblspn
Chilli powder-1 tsp
Salt to taste

Oh my! This sounds fantastic. I love mushrooms. I might be the only one who eats this is my home but lucky for me. Yummy!
delicious mushroom gravy looks wonderful
wow! i usually make chicken like this only but in addition to that i will add 4 or 5 cashew / 1 tbsp of potu kadalai. try it with chicken, it will taste equally good
A very exotic preparation with mushrooms.That's an awesome narration Aarthi.I love your spirit.Thanks.
this looks so delicious, very flavourful curry..
I like!
I have to say I cook with mushrooms throughout the year and that I love.
I have to try some of your dishes.
I was in London, eating at some restaurants just to prove Indian flavors. I know almost nothing about this type of cuisine.
A hug.
Yumm, kuzhambu looks super delicious and fingerlicking..
This looks amazing, and your step by step photos are great, especially since this is a dish I haven't tried before. The only thing I have trouble finding are the curry leaves, is there a substitute?
Another Beauty! Ok…so I used a jarred Indian Curry last night and was so disapointed! It just lacked that "depth" you get from doing like you do here…from scratch!!! I would love to eat at your table ~ and cook and learn from you in your kitchen!
Flavorful curry! Nice recipe…
I'm going to make this soon, I like the ingredients but most of all am looking forward to the aroma,
Thank You.
