and don’t we need to add Green chilly and turmic powder.
this recipe is like a continental style recipe. so thats why green chilies and turmeric powder is not added. if you want, you can add. you can also add red chilli powder.

you can use paneer.

kya yeh dish oven k bina nhi ban skti actually I don’t have oven
aman, oven ke bina bhi ban sakte hain. tawe ko dheemi aanch par garam kare. thoda sa tel tawe par dal de. phir mushrooms ko rakhe. bilkul waise hi rakhe, jaise photo main, baking tray par rakha gaya hain. mushrooms ko dakhkhan/lid se cover kare. dheeme aanch ya sim pe pakaye. jab mushroom brown ho jaye aur pani chode, toh woh pak gaye hain. cheese bhi melt ho jayega.
My mushrooms released a lot of water and became very soft . They broke while eating. Any ideas ? Is it because of the moisture in the stalks or low temperature of the oven? Or because I washed mushrooms and not dry them properly ?
Also, I had a dish called mushroom saufiana once in a restaurant. Fennel and cheese. With some cream I suppose. I was hoping if u could help me crack that recipe too. Thanks. ?
i am hearing the recipe for the first time. for me i need to know whether is was dry dish or a gravy or a starter. but still difficult to guess.
they have got done too much. as soon as they begin to release water, the mushrooms are done. since the stalks are cooked, there is no moisture in them.
