Sukke is a classic Konkani dish where some vegetable or sea food is cooked in spicy coconut paste. Mushroom or almbe sukke is one such dish which I prepared after a very long time. As I have mentioned before, the artificially grown mushrooms are no comparison to the wild mushrooms that we get in my hometown. The grated ginger gives an amazing aroma to the dish. Make it as spicy as you can handle. Serve it as a side dish with rice and dal.

Fry coriander seeds, red chillies. Grind with coconut and tamarind. Fry onions and ginger.
Add mushrooms and fry.
Add the masala and cook.
