Mushroom was something i never tried before , once we had ordered it in a restaurant in hyderabad but we didnt like the taste of it , so we never tried. Once while doing my grocery shopping i saw these cute little button mushrooms for sale and i asked my husband why dont we try it with a little hesitation , he was like why not and we bought two packets of those cuties home.
Now came the main task of cooking them , never cooked it before nor did i see anyone cooking it , our good old google is there to help us out so i started to search for the recipes and was not satisfied with any of the recipes i got , then i had got idea why dont i make it the way i make chicken curry it'll turn out spicy as we prefer at home , with this small i dea i started off with the curry and did a few additions and it turned out soo good that now mushrooms is a part of my grocery shopping and a must eat curry once every 2 weeks.
After this long story i think its time for the recipe so here it comes
