A Hobbitland Delicacy
Ever since I discovered mushrooms, i've been besotted. Amma makes an excellent mushroom kurma which is a huge favourite among my friends. Infact, whenever I call ~D home, she makes sure the kurma is part of the menu, irrespective of the time of the day. Now that she is ready to leave for Australia as a new bride, the first point in her 'To-Do' list is to get the recipe from Amma. Hmm...even I didn't do that when I left home :)
Anyways, this recipe is not Amma's. This is what I found in The Mr's cook book. Tried it and it tastes yummy. Plus ~H has been on my back for days, for this recipe and I better do now, before she kicks me :p
