Mushroom Chilli/ Mushroom Chilli Recipe

Yet we all love it to eat the way it is. This all had started about 4 decades back when a few dishes started gaining popularity in some parts of India which were partially influenced by authentic Chinese.

A big similarity is that most of the dishes are prepared by stir-frying so that the dish does not lose the nutritional values. A few of our favourite dishes are hakka noodles, chilly paneer, chilly chicken and Manchurian dishes.
