Tips
- You can use other veggies like potato and cauliflower in place of mushroom.
- If you don’t have sambhar powder, you can use 2 tsp of coriander powder and 1 tsp of red chilly powder.
- Use 2 medium size tomatoes for this dish, since I don’t have extra tomato, I used tomato paste.
- If you want your curry to be thick, use less water before pressure cooking.
- You can also add lemon juice at the end, if you like it more tangy.
