Kadai Mushroom is a yummy semi gravy made by cooking mushroom in a tomato & onion based saucy mix. Kadai mushroom is a great accompaniment for flatbreads like roti, naan, chapatti and rice meal like pulao, fried rice, etc. Kadai mushroom recipe is published in this post with step by step pictures.
Kadai Mushroom is my fav or I should say anything tagged as ‘kadai’, I just love it.The spice mix is the main reason I guess,the flavour the freshly ground spices lend is so good and that’s the reason I love kadai paneer too.As I always say I have a love-hate relationship with mushroom but now having known the knack of cooking mushrooms, its going to be my love for a while now :)I often make either Mushroom Biryani or Pepper Mushroom so this kadai mushroom is my last option as its only me who loves kadai mushroom so its given the last priority but given a chance I never leave it 🙂 Looking for a simple mushroom curry then mushroom do pyaza will be the best choice.
Veg Pulao, Dal and Kadai Mushroom Gravy and that fixed the special lunch.

Spice powder is the freshly ground powder that we are making in step 1 and no need of red chilli powder in this recipe
