Mushroom Korma / Mushroom Kuruma recipe is a delicious Indian style gravy. In this recipe mushrooms are cooked in a creamy coconut gravy with mild spices.
Its been a long time since I have cooked with mushrooms. Earlier I had posted mushroom masala curry. This time I decided to make a coconut based gravy with mushrooms.
Mushrooms are a great source of proteins especially for vegetarians. They are also low in calories and a good source of dietary fiber. Its good to include them in our diet. But I rarely cook with mushrooms. The only mushroom variety that I can get hold of is button mushrooms which I have used in this recipe.
The other good thing about mushrooms is that they absorb all the flavors of the curry that they are cooked in. This creamy mushroom gravy tasted delicious with rotis. It also goes well with rice.
Lets move on to the easy recipe for mushroom korma.
