Recipe Notes

• Instead of mustard oil, you can use olive oil or sunflower oil. The reason behind using mustard oil gives you extra flavour.
• Better not to cook the mushroom on an aluminium pan since they have the tendency to turn mushrooms into black colour.
• You can add soya sauce for colour.
• You can make varieties of mushroom. Like a mushroom choila, you can make soybean choila as the same procedure but you need to boil a soybean in water until it gets soft.
