Spicy Mushroom Sukka Recipe | Mushroom Recipes

Mushroom sukka is a very spicy side dish for rice, chappathi or roti's. The dish has good flavours and taste like a non veg mutton sukka. My DH doesn't eat mushrooms, so when ever he goes for a team dinner or party, I cook mushrooms for me. I prefer the spicy way, so instantly tried this recipe when I saw my favourite cook's recipe. :) And it turns out amazing each time that I have stopped making the way I used to make the mushroom sukka!!  Mine was a very simple and kid friendly version which I will post soon!!!
