- Wash properly and chop the spinach and keep aside.
- Now lets start to saute vegetable, heat vegetable oil in a wok and saute mushroom at high flame while stirring continuously for few seconds. Then cover the wok and reduce the flame to low and let mushroom cook completely.
- When mushrooms are done add chopped spinach and mix well. Cover the wok and keep at low flame for another 1-2 minutes.
- When done cover the wok and switch off the flame.
- Now lets prepare sauce. Heat butter in a pan.
- Add maida and stir continuously until it starts changing color. (Be very careful as you do not want to burn it)
- Now add milk and keep stirring at high flame to avoid any lumps. When a boil comes reduce the flame and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes then add 1 cheese and keep stirring at regular intervals to avoid burn as well lumps.

Recipe Notes
- Authentically to make risotto we use Italian short grain rice cooked in wine or stock. But you may also use Desi Indian Chawal cooked in normal water or vegetable stock.
- In risotto we use parmesan cheese, but if it is not available use mozzarella cheese otherwise simple use cheese slices.
- You may also use chopped onion while sauteing vegetables.
- To wash spinach nicely always put spinach in a large pot of water and scrub gently with hands. Pick the spinach from top and discard the dirty water. Continue the process until the water is clean.
- Here i used baby mushroom, if it is not available to you. You may use normal sized mushroom and dice them into 4 pc (Do not chop them finely)
- While making white sauce keep it stirring, otherwise it may burn or lumpy too.
- You may also garnish it with some olives.
