Mushroom Curry

Quick and easy no meat mushroom curry. I could probably get away with using curry powder, but for this recipe I used actual mix of spices.

That way I could can play with spiciness and taste a bit every time I cook it.

Mushroom curry tastes great with boiled rice, or boiled barley. I even add it to salads sometimes to spice things up a bit.

It is really pretty fast recipe to cook and very tasty.
