Recipe- Easy To Make Oyster Mushrooms Curry

Mushrooms are not so popular as it is in northern Indian states. I used to stay in Delhi where it is so popular and many local stores also sell mushrooms. But in Kolkata, it is not so popular because most people eat nonvegetarian. Here fish is a common item in the everyday diet. People eat meat so regularly. So very few people eat mushroom and most of those people eat mushrooms occasionally.

Though there are various types of edible mushrooms available across the country. But one or two types of mushrooms are available here in some specific shops. I mostly eat button mushrooms what I used to buy from local shops when I was in Delhi. But I never tried oyster mushroom there. In Kolkata, many stores sell this oyster mushrooms along with button mushrooms too. So I used that to make this special oyster mushroom curry and surprisingly it was so delicious.
