Kadai Mushroom

Kadhai is a stir-fried curry from southern India. The word (often spelt kadhai, karahi, kadai, korai, karai, kadhi, kadahi) is a wok-like cooking pan with circular handles, used for frying and cooking vegetable dishes. The best kadais have thick, heavy bottoms.

The kadai curry is the precursor to the 'Balti' in terms of it being served in a sizzling hot dish.
