Tips & Secrets
- Wiping the mushrooms completely dry is mandatory; any moisture will cause the marinade to slide off during roasting.
- Mushrooms cook very quickly; do not exceed 12 minutes specifically to maintain a professional-grade juicy interior.
- Using hung curd is the secret to a professional-grade thick marinade that provides an even coating on the smooth mushroom skin.
- A tiny sprinkle of black salt in the marinade adds a professional-grade tang that complements the earthiness of mushrooms.
