    Mushroom Kuzhambu Recipe

    I know many of you love mushrooms. We often make Mushroom Masala, Pepper Mushroom, Chettinad Mushroom or used as a stuffing or sautéd along with onions. 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.

    Ingredients for mushroom kulambu

    • Mushroom-1 cup chopped
    • Onion-1 chopped
    • Tomato-2 chopped
    • Coriander powder / Malli podi-1 tblspn
    • Chilli powder-1 tsp
    • Salt to taste
    • Oil-1 tblspn
    • For masala:
    • Coconut-1 cup
    • Curry leaves- a handful
    • Cinnamon / Pattai-1 inch piece
    • Fennel seeds / Sombu-1 tblspn

    How to Make Mushroom Kulambu 

    1. In a kadai add coconut, curry leaves, fennel seeds, cinnamon and roast till it gets golden colour.
    2. Let this cool down and grind into a smooth paste.
    3. Now in the same kadai add oil and heat it up. Throw in onion and mix well.
    4. Add in coriander powder and chilli powder and mix well.
    5. Add in tomatoes and mix well. Now add in mushroom and cook it for 5 mins.
    6. Add in the ground masala and mix well. Pour in enough water and mix well.
    7. Bring this to boil and simmer for 10 mins until oil separates on top.
    8. Serve with rice or roti.

      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.

      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!

      Hi Aarthi, I tried the mushroom gravy and it turned out great! Enjoyed a wonderful sunday lunch!!!
      Did not have curry leaves, which would have increased the aroma and taste!!!
