Wild Mushroom Curry
Wild Mushroom Curry
‘Randai’ is a term used for Vegetable Gravy in GSB. These mushrooms are seasonal and are found somewhere close to the month of Shravan in some particular areas of Mumbai like Borivali, Palghar, etc. Since these mushrooms are found rarely and are extremely expensive, ‘Alambi Randai’ is a delicacy for the GSBs. Moreover, this Randai or thick gravy can be relished with Pola (soft dosas) or Set dosas (thick Polas) or Idli or eaten as it is with Chapati or Rice
