Adjust salt and again boil it. Now add garam masala powder and mix well. Finally sprinkle green coriander leaves and switch off the flame.

If you are a mushroom lover then you can't resist yourself from asking for a second serving.

* you can also use some diced capsicum to enhance its flavour.

* Do pyaaza means double onion so if you wish , you can incerease diced onion as I used almost double but in different ways. You can add more cubed onions too. But then adjust spices too, accordingly.

Make this simple and delicious side dish and please your family and pals. Please pour your valuable comments and suggestions here, they meant a lot.
