Mushroom Kofta Curry/ मशरुम कोफ्ता करी

For those who do not eat non-veg, mushroom is considered a better option. Its taste and texture seems like meat, not only that the quantity of calories in mushroom is low but it is loaded with vitamin B, D, potassium, iron and selenium. Mushroom is beneficial not only for the body but also for the brain. Mushroom is also considered beneficial for the sugar patients because it contains very little amount of starch.

Due to the abundance of anti-oxidants it gives energy to the body and vitamin D is which strengthens the bones of our body.

Besides the requirement of vitamins and minerals for our body, it is very important to control the amount of iron, especially for women’s. Deficiency of iron is the major cause of various diseases.
