Mushroom Capsicum Kurma, How To Make Mushroom Capsicum Kurma

          Mushroom is another vegetable which I pick up once a week or 10 days, it's so easy to cook and goes very well in curries, stir-fries and pilafs/briyanis and it tastes good either alone or in combination with other vegetables. For today's dish, I have paired it up with capsicum and I have made a white kurma with it. This curry is rich, delicious and tastes great with rotis, naans, dosas or as a side to pilafs and briyanis. If you are someone who likes mushrooms, then give this dish a try..

Note
The green chillies that I had were really spicy, so 2 was enough, add chillies according to your spice level, but don't add red chilly powder later, that'll change the color of the kurma.
