Hi All, If you are a Coimbatorian then for sure you must be aware about this Street food “Mushroom gravy” “ Kaalaan gravy”. Whenever we visit home town we never miss to taste this from our nearby street vendor. Though we are very well aware about the hygiene and unhealthy ingredients but still we carve for it and never wanted to miss it during our visit. Actually street vendors never add mushroom to this gravy, earlier they use to add little mushroom but now completely the gravy has no mushroom. They add cabbage ,corn flour and maida which has similar texture like mushroom. Somewhere in coimbatore still they make with mushroom which is thrice the cost from normal street vendors.

Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have...
