A simple recipe but great in taste.the diced and sauteed onions really enhances the taste.thanks for sharing such recipes due to which we can have restaurant style food at home itself.
thanks a lot winnie. glad to know that you liked the recipe. sometimes simple recipes are tasty. here the onions give a lot of flavor and depth to the dish. thanks again and happy cooking.
I’ve just made this as an 11pm snack- delicious! Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe seemed to be lipsmacking. I tried it but it turned out to be a bit soggy and mushy. It didn’t come out to be in a snacky form like shown in your pics. Plz share how should I get this texture & taste?
prabhat, when cooking mushrooms they have to be cooked till all the water is evaporated. then after the water is evaporated then continue to saute (bhunao) for some minutes till the mixture becomes slightly dry. basically this recipe is a not a dry recipe as tomatoes are used and there will be some mushiness. you can skip tomatoes next time and then the recipe will be dry. then you can even saute the mushrooms till they become slightly crispy and light golden. hope this helps.
Tried this today and it came out too good… I can’t think of any other website like yours… ????????????????
miss your App though.. ????
