They seem to taste better than the white button mushrooms for some reason. After breaking my head on what special dish to cook with the same, finally decided on this tasty side with mushrooms and bell peppers. This is...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/04/kadai-mushroom.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/01/mushroom-black-bean-pulao-rice.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2014/01/mushroom-black-bean-pulao-rice.html#comments Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:00:31 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=16490 Are you a fan of one-pot meals? They are my favorite meals for week night dinners since they are easy to put together and involves less cleanup too.

The recipe is very simple and corn starch is the thickening agent. You could add any vegetable of choice and tofu would be a good candidate too.
