Lately, I have been on a mushroom high. After reading about its numerous health benefits, I wanted to incorporate it more into my family’s diet. This recipe combines one of my favourite ingredients (Corn) with my newly favourite ingredient (mushroom) to create a delectable dish. The gravy is made richer by the subtle flavour of cashews to make it one of my favourites. Hope you enjoy this one 🙂
