Mushroom Kuzhambu Recipe with step by step pictures. Spicy and flavourful mushroom kulambu made with freshly roasted spices and masala.
I know many of you love mushrooms. We often make Mushroom Masala, Pepper Mushroom, Chettinad Mushroom or used as a stuffing or sautéd along with onions. I can tell you it is such a spicy dish which is perfect with rice or roti. It is a typical South Indian dish. I got the inspiration for this dish from my mum who used to make potato in the same way. The whole spices are roasted along with coconut ground and added into the curry.

I like!
I have to say I cook with mushrooms throughout the year and that I love.
I have to try some of your dishes.
I was in London, eating at some restaurants just to prove Indian flavors. I know almost nothing about this type of cuisine.
A hug.

Yumm, kuzhambu looks super delicious and fingerlicking..

This looks amazing, and your step by step photos are great, especially since this is a dish I haven't tried before. The only thing I have trouble finding are the curry leaves, is there a substitute?
