Mushroom Korma-Mushroom gravy Indian-Mushroom masala

October 21, 2010 by PadhuSankar 61 Comments

Mushrooms have plenty of health benefits.Though they contain more than 80% water, they are a good source of minerals and vitamins especially vitamin B and D. They are high in anti oxidants and low in calories. After I tasted mushroom dishes in my friend’s house, it has become my favorite and also a regular feature in my kitchen. Halloween falls on October 31st, so I decided to present this mushroom dish with Halloween as the theme. Today we will learn how to make mushroom kurma following this easy recipe.

      Place the mushrooms in a colander. Dust all purpose flour on the mushrooms and mix so that it is well coated with the flour. Then rinse it off in water and pat it dry with a clean towel. This is an easy way to clean mushrooms.
