Hi Dassana. I follow your recipes religiously. I know you are a vegetarian.
But I just wanted to ask if I can substitute mushrooms with sliced boiled eggs in this recipe?
I have been looking for flavorful ways to have eggs. So I would gladly appreciate if you could suggest some of your other recipes where I could use boiled eggs/egg whites instead of Paneer or Mushroom. Thanks.
Thanks Jash. You can swap eggs with mushrooms. Feel free to add more spices like crushed black pepper, or red chilli powder or any preferred spices or herbs. You can try any of the recipes posted with mushrooms or paneer on the blog. Hope this helps and welcome.
