People are increasingly consuming nutrient-dense foods like mushrooms because of the growing health consciousness in the society. Various edible mushroom varieties are excellent sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals, and they are low in calories, which play a significant role in the body when consumed. The current study's primary goal is to determine chapati's sensory quality when blended with mushroom powder in various amounts (5–20%). On a 9-point hedonic scale, the sensory evaluation was performed. According to the sensory information, the chapati with a 15% milky mushroom powder inclusion was rated highly among all the formulations. Consumers can acquire numerous health benefits from the mushroom value-added foods, which additionally boost the dietary value of the products.
