Mushroom Curry
From my apartment, I went to my close friend, Sudha's house just for a chat. She never let me go without having any lunch in her house. I had this delicious curry in her house. She told me that it's her mother's recipe. I love to collect any elders recipes as their recipes are always traditional. It'll pass from one generation to other generations.
