Fresh uncleaned mushrooms have a dirty mushy colour. How to get them white and clean before cooking.
Any clues to get over the nutty raw odour of mushrooms after cooking.
Does boiling/or roasting bring down the nutritional value of mushrooms

hi,
i usually clean mushrooms by putting them in warm(not hot) water with a squeeze of lemon in it for a few minutes and them wiping them dry. then i cut them and use for the recipe. usually use ginger garlic paste for recipes involving mushroom, so the smell of mushroom is not predominant. hope this helps
with regards

Mushrooms should not be washed,you should only wipe it with a wet kitchen towel/tissue.Washing will make the mushroom very tough and leathery while cooking. This I got to know from the Food Network Channel and after following this advice,I feel they are right.

I like mushroom for it flavour & texture... so never tried to get over its nutty flavour... but usage of spices generally masks the flavour of mushroom to some extent...

I never care bout cleaning them........jus buy them as a pack, chop them & use them for my pizza (the only recipe for which Ive used them so far....but Ive been meaning to make mushroom curry for quite some time! )

Good old days when mushroom cultivation was unknown we got fresh 'aval kaaLaan' from fields after a night's rain with lightning. Pinching off the muddy roots wash them thoroughly. Grind coconut with jeera, pepper & red chilli. Saute small onion cuttings in oil, add the coconut paste & mushroom. Cook in a pressure cooker. The gravy has a divine aroma & taste!!!
