Notes

  • You can use many methods of cleaning the mushroom. After a lot of experiments I have reconciled with this one. :)
  • I personally don't take out the gills because they are edible and also it makes the process less gross.
  • You can increase or decrease the amount of dry kashmiri chillis as per your capacity for spice. 
  • Best served with Kerala appam, Kerala parotta, chapathi and ghee rice.
