mushroom korma recipe | mushroom kurma curry

mushroom korma. I usually prepare potato kurma for veg pulao or veg biryani. This week I had invited a vegetarian friend home for lunch for the usual gup shup which was missing between us for quite some time. I prepared this Mushroom Korma curry as a side for the veg biryani.

It is roughly adapted from my potato kurma and veg korma recipe, mushrooms need a taste enhancer else they taste bland and the gravy too does not taste good. So one can use coconut paste or just yogurt for the gravy.

To make mushroom korma , we need a taste enhancer, you can try with any one of the following, each lends a different flavor and taste
8 to 10 cashews, make a fine paste or
2 tbsps. magaz seeds, make a fine paste or
2 to 3 tbsps. coconut and poppy seeds together, make a fine paste or
One large boiled potato and cubed

6. Add mint and fry.

7. Simmer the heat, add the yogurt, mix well and cook.

8. When it begins to bubble, add the cashew nut paste, if using potato you can skip this step. You can add in more yogurt to adjust the consistency, but do not add water. Cover and cook till the mushrooms are done. Do not overcook else the mushrooms become too soft and soggy. Serve mushroom kurma with rice, roti or biryani.
