MUSHROOM KURMA | MUSHROOM SALNA | MUSHROOM RECIPES | SIDE DISH FOR BREAKFAST | STARTUP COOKING
Mushroom ???? kurma and we call it as Mushroom Salna is a mouth watering Indian curry which is easy to go with Idli, Dosa, Chapathi, Appam, Idiyappam and Parotta. This finger licking mushroom kurma is creamy, rich delicacy with coconut base and mostly served for partotta in South India. Grinding cloves, cinnamon stick, fennels seeds, ginger, garlic, green chilli, poppy seeds, cashews and coconut gives a nice meaty flavor from the curry. Adjust the green chilli as per your spice level. We can substitute mushroom with chicken or mutton for non-veg lovers. This mushroom kurma is quite popular in many vegetarians. Don’t skip adding the black stone flower, which gives extra ordinary flavor to this dish. Follow my step-by-step photo recipe to prepare Mushroom Kurma.
