Mushroom Curry

Posted by sarah on

“Weekends” – Oh I cant describe how much I look forward to the weekend. Last weekend was just one of those kinds. Friday went in a lot of planning so as to how we could make the weekend fun-filled yet productive. Saturday went with a lot of roaming around and finishing off a couple of things in the TO-DO list. Sunday was the day, that was left to experiment with cooking. I thought of trying out something with mushroom. Well the motivation for preparing mushroom was that I had mushrooms at one of my friends place and it just ignited a spark in my mind that this was indeed something that I could experimented with. So here goes the recipe.

  • Chop onions into small pieces.
  • In a pan, put little cooking oil and then once it is heated, add chopped onions and saute it till it changes color to brown.
  • Meanwhile, make tomato puree by grinding it.
