Notes
- Cleaning mushroom – I usually wipe mushrooms with damp cloth, washing in water too much make it soggy.
- Roasting masala – I roast spices till golden then add coconut. This adds good flavor and thickness to curry.
- Adjusting consistency – You can add little more water for gravy or less water to make it semi dry. Both taste good.
- Spice level – I used medium spice. You can reduce red chilli or pepper if you want it mild.
- Adds ons – You can also add vegetables like capsicum, corn, baby corn to the the gravy.
