During the rainy season in Goa, we get fresh mushrooms from the forest. Those are the tastiest mushrooms I have ever had. People who stay in the forest get those mushrooms for us. They work at our backyard and farmhouse. Sometimes we buy the forest mushrooms from the local market. These are sold at exorbitantly high rate like Rs.10/- per piece and are in demand.
My mom prepares a variety of dishes with those mushrooms. My dad being a pure vegetarian loves those forest mushrooms. He would not dare to eat the button mushrooms available in packets. He just does not like these cultured button mushrooms. But he loves those original forest mushrooms.
We make these rava fried mushrooms at home for lunch or dinner and they serve as a perfect side. They are crispy and taste yum. Little one loves these. They are easy to make and are perfect on those veg days when we don't eat fish and crave for rava fried delicacies from Goa. Serve them as an accompaniment with Lemon rice or Jeera rice and enjoy your meal.
