GARLIC MUSHROOM STIR FRY (TUUPAAT PARTAVLELI ALAMBI)

Garlic Mushroom Stir Fry is a simple dish made using the least number of ingredients! The more simple we keep a dish, more easier it is to maintain the original flavour of the vegetable. This type of stir fry goes well with any meal or can be had just like that alongside a bowl of hot soup.

Mushrooms are not new to our culture. They were cooked in my mom’s village too, in a roasted onion coconut gravy, though the variety of mushrooms they used were different. I have used the mushrooms which are available in my local market. This is indeed a versatile vegetable, as it can be easily incorporated in different cooking styles. This recipe too, has been passed down to me by my mom, who keeps on watching cookery shows in whichever regional languages she can and tries out the healthy and simple recipes immediately. Well, and then they are passed down to me!

As you have probably heard, mushrooms are good for you. So good, that they have been used as medicine! Mushrooms are superfoods and one of the most health promoting foods on the planet. Almost 50% of edible mushrooms are considered functional foods, meaning that they have a potentially positive effect on health beyond basic nutrition.

Did you know that mushrooms have stunning powers not only to heal people, but the planet as well! You can find detailed reports on the same on the net, exactly from where I too source such information!
