Instead of making a mix of mushrooms and cabbage, you can also make it with just mushrooms or cabbage. Finely chop the mushrooms and shred the cabbage. Shredded carrots can also be added to the mix. Use the same leftover hot oil that you used for frying the fritters to prepare the Kalan gravy. Add a tablespoon of Meat masala spice mix (it's vegan) along with the spices when making the gravy to give it a more robust and zesty flavor. You can also use fried onions for garnish instead of raw onions. The addition of all spices and the consistency of the gravy is up to personal preference.
