Making homemade straw mushroom curry requires fresh straw mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and everyday spices such as turmeric, cumin, black pepper, garam masala, and salt to taste.

According to 47-year-old homemaker Manorama Devi, straw mushrooms should first be cut into small pieces, washed thoroughly, and lightly fried in mustard oil or ghee instead of being added directly to the spices.

The hot, rustic-style straw mushroom curry tastes best when served with roti, paratha, or dal-bhaat (lentils and rice).
