Mushroom, Capsicum, and Corn Masala.

Today i like to share a really delicious dish, Mushroom, Capsicum, and Corn Masala which, i learned it from my mother who has got this receipe from a cooking show on Tv. This receipe is definitely a healthy dish with combination of capsicum and mushroom.
One day i wondered if i can add some other vegetable to this, and i ended up with sweetcorn which was lying in my pantry thinking what to be done. It really added an extra taste and healthiness to this dish.The cashewnut powder added to this gives an extra richness to the curry. Goes well with chapatis/Naan.Try it and you will love it.
As we all know Mushrooms, a healthy, fat free vegetable, which helps in reducing high blood pressure, cholestrol. It helps in enhancing immunity and also a good source of iron and fiber. Capsicum, a good source of Vitamin A & C. Sweet corn again a good source of dietery fiber.
