I dont buy mushrooms regularly as I am not sure how to use them. The first time I bought them, I used them in a soup. And the second time, it was a simple curry which tasted quite good. Though I was not getting used to the idea of having them so frequently. But when I made it this time, I just fell in love with the mushrooms. I felt it was something just like paneer which I am so fond of. Infact it blended so well with the spices and tasted great with capsicum and peas.
This recipe is inspired from the Mushroom makhani recipe by vaishali of Holy cow who has a lovely collection of vegan recipes. Thanks for the recipe vaishalli.

I am yet to develop a liking to mushrooms. Going by your verdict, I think I can give a try sometime.
Mushroom is my hubbs favourite vegg, but i tend to use them in western dishes. Love the way you have used indian spices with mushroom.
Me too same,I rarely buy and try something new and this one as it looks different,sure going to taste different and good too!Thanks for bringing to eyes!
