The button mushroom is an excellent low-calorie food, especially for diabetics. It contains a number of valuable nutrients, including protein, enzymes, B vitamins and vitamin D2. However, there are many other types of mushrooms worthy of consideration if you want to improve your diet.
Mushrooms can be used in many ways like preparing side dish, mushroom biriyani, mushroom cutlet, mushroom soup and much more. I am sharing extremely flavourful easy mushroom curry which contains simple ingredients. An Indian style dish, which is easy to prepare even by bachelors. Mushrooms, when blended with onion tomato gravy, gives divine taste to the dish. Mushroom cooks very fast so this curry can be made in no time. This Mushroom gravy can be had as an accompaniment with roti, naan, pulka, kulcha, pulao etc.
