Kadai Mushroom

Mushrooms are very handy and i pick them from the grocery when i find fresh ones.They are low in fat and packed with nutrients.Clean mushrooms well before cooking.Wash them in clear running water and gently rub the top to remove the dirt and trim the base of the stem.The most favourite dish at home is Kadai mushroom.Its perfectly seasoned and hence irresistibly tasty.
