This Indian-Russian fusion dish replaces beef with meaty mushrooms. The sauce includes Indian touches like garam masala and kasuri methi. Some versions use coconut milk for vegan alternatives. Urban bistros popularized it as a gourmet vegetarian option. The mushrooms provide umami depth while cream adds richness. Nutritionists suggest using Greek yogurt to reduce calories. Traditionally served with buttered pav or rice, it's perfect for dinner parties. The dish represents how colonial-era recipes are being reinvented for modern tastes. The key is cooking mushrooms until they release all their liquid. Best garnished with fresh dill.
