Oyster Mushroom / Sippy Kalaan Kurma

When I was young, my mother used to buy oyster mushroom or sippy kalaan and cook variety of dishes. This is one such dish with the taste of coconuts. One cup of oyster mushrooms has 28 calories and less than 1 gram of fat and has fiber and proteins. Oyster mushrooms are also suitable additions to the diet of people with obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. This is primarily because these mushrooms are low in sodium and have a low starch ratio.
