mushroom korma recipe | mushroom kurma curry

By swasthi , on June 2, 2019, 22 Comments, Jump to Recipe

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.

mushroom korma recipe

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.

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.

    A WONDERFUL KORMA, EXCELLECT & YUMMY TASTE.

    This is for the first time my korma turned out very yummy. Earlier to this I was preparing other type of korma, but I was not much satisfied with it.

    This is also very easy to make. I added Coconut +poppy seed paste. Wonderful was the result. Next time I will try this recipe with the other options.

    I added, ur blog’s garam masala powder.
