Alambe Randayi

This mushroom curry is one of the amazing recipes that I learnt from my Mom. Alambe in Konkani means Mushroom and Randayi means Curry. While this can be best eaten with Urad Dosa or rice, you can also relish this dish with parotha or even Chapathi. Here's the recipe and I hope you enjoy it too.

Mushroom - 1 box

Water - 2 cups

Onion - 2

Salt
