Malabar Mushroom Curry
In my culinary escapade, I traveled down south to the backwaters of Kerala with some chopped mushrooms and came back with this dish.
This is one of my favorite gravy's when I have people at home as this gravy can be used in Shrimp too and hence you can cook Shrimp for non vegetarians along with a vegetarian dish, Cheat codes are supposed to be used when you invite folks home :)
