Winter is upon us and while we love our quilts, we love our winter delicacies a bit more. This is why we do not mind hitting the kitchen every once in a while and cooking a little something for ourselves. From soups, halwa and khichdi to pasta - the list of winter comfort foods is endless. However, there are some special ingredients that instinctively end up using in almost all our preparations. Mushroom is one such spongy delight we can have anytime of the day. The fungus is so incredibly versatile and so easy to cook. This is perhaps why your favourite restaurants tend to use it in so many dishes.
