Mushroom Coriander Gravy

Indian recipes will never get completed without coriander leaves. I must say we are all addicted to the elegant smell of those leaves. The flavor and the tempting green color of it make the food very appetizing. So, we grind and take as chutney or at least we will incorporate to the dish as a garnish. It give the recipes a sooper-dooper final touch.

We buy the coriander leaves, chop the leaves and throw the stem of it. But the real flavor and the health benefits are coming from that stem, which we are not aware off. So I wanted to use the stem in this gravy and it turned out sooper delicious for chapathi.
