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.
