Notes
If you have small onions, use that instead of big onion. I got only few, so I used big onion.
Small onions adds a nice taste to the curry.
Use any variety of mushroom, here I used baby bella mushroom.
If you are a spicy lover, add green chilly and reduce the amount of red chilly powder.
Adding black pepper at the end adds a wonderful flavor.
If you are lazy to do BLANCHING tomato, just grind the tomato and use it.
