Notes

  • Check the detailed cleaning and cutting procedure of mushrooms here.
  • This is spicy fry so adjust spice powders if you want to reduce hotness.
  • This pairs well with phulka / white pulao / or even with plain rice.
  • Mushrooms cook faster so don't overcook. No need to add water. Mushrooms will leave out water and that's enough for it to get cooked.
  • Don't add water while marinating just toss it that is enough.
