Note: Mushrooms when fried, will lose it's water and reduce to 1/3rd it's content. That is why I have taken 1 kg of mushrooms.

Use chilli as required. I used one spoonful as I always use kashmiri chilli which is less spicy.

An easy way to separate egg whites - crack open eggs holding on top of a vessel, and pour it's content into the cupped palm of your hand. The white will flow through the gap in between your fingers and the yolk will stay in your palm. This method is used by chefs in big hotels and it is very easy.
