It has been 3 months I posted any recipe because of my fractured finger. I am very excited to cook after a long time. I have tried mushrooms as a dry sidedish. This mushroom korma is a spicy and delicious gravy. I got this recipe from one of my friends here. I loved it and it goes well with chapati or parotta.

  • Sambar powder-1 tbsp
  • Salt – to taste
  • Coconut – 2 tbsp
  • Ginger – 1/2″

  1. Heat oil in a vessel and add cinnamon stick followed by cloves and fennel seeds.
  2. Then add 1 cup of chopped onions and fry them till they become translucent.
  3. Then add the tomatoes and salt and fry till  they get smashed.
  4. Add the turmeric powder and sambar powder and fry them for 3 minutes.
  5. Add the sliced mushrooms and mix well.
  6. Keep it in sim and cover it with a lid for 10 minutes.
  7. Make a paste with coconut, ginger, garlic and the remaining onions.
  8. Add the paste to the mushroom mixture and add required amount of water.
  9. Allow it to boil for 15 minutes till the raw smell goes.
  10. Garnish with coriander leaves.
