I have shared Instant Pot and Stovetop Pot instructions below. I have used white button mushrooms for this recipe. Still, you can also use brown button mushrooms or any variety.

You can also use cashew cream in this recipe (Soak cashews in hot water for 15-20 minutes and blend to a smooth paste) or add cashews along with mushrooms for pressure cooking....
