Notes

You may swap portobello or chestnut mushrooms for button mushrooms. Canned mushrooms can be swapped for fresh ones. Discard the liquid and wash with cold water.

Canned mushrooms doesn't need to be pre-cooked, just add them along with dry spices and water.

Cut potatoes to medium size cubes. The smaller the size of potatoes, the quicker it cooks.

You can use left-over boiled potatoes. Add them along with mushroom and spices.
