Making mushroom fry
- Heat oil in a pan or kadai (wok).
- Add the onions and sauté stirring often till they begin to get light golden.
- This process of cooking onions takes a lot of time. So, to quicken it, add a pinch of salt to the onions. This helps the onions to cook faster.
- The onions should have softness in them. So, when you see them beginning to get light golden, proceed to the next step. Don't make the onions crisp or browned.
- Add the green chilies and sauté for half a minute.
- Now, add the chopped mushrooms and stir.
- Add all the ground spice powders including salt as required.
- Sauté the mushrooms till they shrink in size and leave water.
- Continue to cook till all the water has evaporated and you can see oil in the mixture.
- Sauté till the mushrooms turn light golden. The mixture should be dry.
- Add coriander leaves. Stir and cook for a minute.
- Switch off the heat and serve Mushroom Fry hot or warm with roti, bread or dinner rolls.
Notes
- Feel free to reduce the number of green chillies and the ground spices as you prefer.
- The recipe can be scaled to make a larger serving.
