About the Recipe
I am a huge fan of Mushrooms and this Mushroom Dum recipe is one of my favourites.
Fun Fact: Do you know it is impossible to overcook mushrooms?
This is because of Chitin which is present in it's cell walls. It is insoluble even in boiling water because of which they never break down. However, you can still burn them, so beware.
