Badami Khumbi is a wholesome, must-try dish for all the big time mushroom fans. Badami Khumbi basically is a dish prepared using mushrooms in a creamy rich gravy enriched with almonds.

In my household, we love eating mushrooms. Mushroom and Spring Onion Pulao and Lemony Garlic Mushroom Spaghetti are a regular for lunches as well as dinners. But as I wanted to make a desi recipe, I experimented with the idea of using mushrooms in a rich curry. Thus, Badami Khumbi was ideated on the spur of the moment.

One of the reasons behind making this dish is that mushrooms are a good source of protein, vitamin C, and iron. Mushrooms even contain potassium, phosphorous, and copper. Mushrooms happen to fight against cancer, they boost our immunity and are even full of fibre.

So, by preparing various dishes from mushrooms I kind of keep the health quotient of my family in complete check, you see!

You could serve Badami Khumbi along with Naan or piping hot Laccha Parathas. The Indianness of this dish will literally steal your heart and soothe your taste buds. Why don’t you save its recipe as well for future use? While you are at it, do follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to learn more yummilicious recipes!
