Mushrooms are good source of protein and low in calorie.Also they are rich in vitamins and minerals.Mushrooms are great substitute for meat as it is chewy,juicy.
Coming to the recipe,its a spicy and flavorful curry whereas,mushroom is simmered in freshly ground masala paste.Be it with rice or roti,this curry goes very well.
I made my masala on the thicker side and the gravy was enough for 3 people.If more gravy is need then add another tbs of coconut and some cashews while roasting the spices.Off to the recipe..............
