This Indian recipe is unusual as mushrooms are not common in India. The finished dish can be eaten as a side dish or stirred through rice to make an altogether different dish !!!!! I often eat this as a cold rice dish on picnics or with a B.B.Q.

Ours turned out drier than your photo, Brian, even following the directions exactly, but it was a good curry that I'd like to try to tweak to suit our tastes more. Served over basmati with Recipe #409503 for a filling meal. Thank you for posting!

We love mushrooms, and we love you, Brian! Simple recipe. I opted to use garam masala, and we didn't change a single thing otherwise. I added the green chilis with the tomatos, curry leaves. Really good- welcome back!
