Mushroom with Kalari cheese brings mushrooms together with Kalari, a traditional cheese from the Jammu region of northern India. Kalari is often cooked in a pan, where it develops a browned exterior and a soft, stretchy centre. The mushrooms add an earthy note that balances the cheese’s rich, milky flavour.
In its place of origin, Kalari is commonly enjoyed hot, often as a snack or alongside a meal; elsewhere, this combination works well as a warm starter or a simple lunch with salad and bread. It provides protein and calcium, with 11.5 g of protein per 100 g. Use a light hand with oil and add vegetables for a less rich plate.
