Shallot/Ulli theeyal is a traditional Kerala dish. I’m neither a mushroom nor a theeyal fan but this preparation of mushroom curry is awesome and one of my favorite. An easy, simple and tasty side dish. There are various health benefits of mushrooms. It’s the only fruit or vegetable source of the critical vitamin, Vitamin D. It’s known as the "meat" of the vegetable world. Adapted from our friend Jency chechi’s Mushroom curry. Thanks, Jency chechi for introducing this to us 🙂
