I am not very fond of Mushrooms,but this is one of the first Mushroom dishes I ever tasted and liked.Off late,we've been getting very good,fresh button mushrooms here as opposed to the already blackened and wilted ones.I've been planning a mushroom-paneer dish which I saw on Vanitha sometime back,but it never happened.I remember Bharathy posting this as one of the popular dishes on her blog last year and when I had a look I knew that was it,I was searching for that particular recipe,I did not wait any time and made it immediately.
I should say I am back to being a Mushroom lover now,tastes so good that once we finished our chapathis,we attacked the leftover curry straight from the serving bowl.One more gem from Bharathy's blog.Try it and you'll know what I mean!
