Notes

  1. Use mushrooms of almost the same size for even cooking.
  2. Cut mushrooms into large bite size pieces as they shrink in size after getting cooked.
  3. If the mushrooms are small in size you can use them whole too.
  4. Canned mushrooms can also be used to make this dish.
  5. Make this dish on a medium or high flame. If you cook the mushrooms on a slow heat, they will get boiled in their juices.
  6. Don't skip sugar in the recipe. It won't make the dish sweet but will only balance the heat.
  7. More recipe tips and tricks are shared in the post above, please follow them to make this dish.
