Ah, curries! When my Mother-in-law visits us in Arizona, or when we visit Chicago, I always take the opportunity to cook with her and write down recipes to pass down to future generations. It’s always such a treat, and every time, I feel like she’s letting me in on some major secrets! This Mushroom Curry satisfies my cravings for Indian food and for mushrooms. It is quick to make, and can be served over rice or any other grain. I like it served over sorghum, a gluten-free grain, native to Africa, and used extensively in Indian cuisine.
Indian cuisine is one of the most intricate and evolving types of cuisine, thanks to its 8,000-year history, characterized by various cultural groups and regional traditions.
