Hi I could not find a mushroom recipe, i think it was called chettinad mushrooms. The recipe says to grind Green Chilli,ginger,garlic. I used to make that regularly, but then stopped making it from nearly 6 months and i totally forgot that recipe. Pls can u provide the link for that recipe on ur website.
What is kalpasi, Sharmi?
It is a spice very popular in chettinad used in biryani and many nonveg dishes.
Hi Sharmi
I tried this today and it came out so yummy.
U have mentioned red chilli powder in the ingredients list. But not used it.
Please clarify (. I did not use it)
