Mushroom Curry

I enjoy cooking with mushrooms. The possibilities are endless and generally they are very easy to prepare. This spicy mushroom curry side dish goes well with any Indian meal. I recommend serving them with spicy chickpea koftas and a simple lemon rice.

Mushrooms in curry is an instant home-run for me! I love lots of heat and great spice to a dish and I always seem to find that in Indian-inspired cuisine. Your Spicy Chickpea Koftas will be the perfect main for this yummy side!
