Mushroom Gravy / Kalan Kulambu
Mushrooms are an excellent source of potassium, a mineral that helps lower elevated blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke.One medium portabella mushroom has even more potassium than a banana or a glass of orange juice. One serving of mushrooms also provides about 20 to 40 percent of the daily value of copper, a mineral that has Cardio protective properties.
The latest findings show that white button mushrooms can reduce the risk of breast cancer and prostate cancer.
My grand mother used to pick mushrooms from wild and prepare a soup kind of light spicy gravy. I never have tasted such a tasty one yet anywhere. Have this in my todo list. Will surely ask her and post the recipe. This is a village style mushroom gravy which goes well with white rice, chapathi, idili and dosai.

Hi, i tried this Kalan kulambu. My husband liked the taste very much. Thank you so much. Can i add Mutton with this same Ingredients? will it taste good?
I haven’t tried mutton with this Preshitha. But it should taste good, try adding garam masala and mutton masala little bit more if it tastes bland. May be you can try it out and let us know.
