Instructions
- Clean the mushroom by wiping with a damp kitchen towel. I prefer not to wash it with water as the mushroom has lot of moisture in itself. Any extra water used for washing makes it difficult to fry.
- Chop the mushrooms vertically into thin slices to retain the mushroom shape.
- Now heat oil in a kadai or deep sauce pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and curry leaves.
- When the mustard seeds pop, add the sliced onions, green chilies and chopped garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent.
- Next add the mushrooms and fry on medium flame for about 6 minutes or until all the moisture from the mushrooms dries up.
- Now add salt, red chilly powder, black pepper powder, turmeric powder and garam masala. Sometimes, I like to add 1/4 cup of sliced capsicum (bell peppers) at this stage to make the dish colorful but it is optional.
- Fry everything for another 2-4 minutes till the mushroom pieces are nicely browned.
- Switch off and take it in a serving dish. Garnish with coriander leaves and a piece of lemon. Mushroom chili fry or mushroom pepper fry is ready to serve.
