Mushroom kulambu

This is a the curry that my mom makes right from my schooldays. A very simple and yet a special gravy that is a perfect side dish for chapattis/dosa. Its serves a complete lunch with white rice too. In India we get the chippi (like sea shells) mushrooms and they taste so good for this gravy. I got a mushroom mix pack from garden fresh this time and it turned out good. Here is the recipe,
