Chili Mushroom is an Indo-Chinese snack that can be made quickly, and it is a favorite kids recipe. This dish can be made dry or watery, and both tastes great. You can either eat it as a side dish or use as a stuffing for your rolls.
Here is the simple method I follow to prepare this mouthwatering dish.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- Chopped mushroom - 400 gm
- Chopped garlic - 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
- Sunflower oil - 4 tablespoon
- Onion - 1 (chopped)
- Dry Red chilies
- Curry leaves - a handful
- Salt - to taste
Preparation
- In a pan, heat 1 tablespoon sunflower oil and add the chopped mushroom.
- Cook for 10 mins and then drain the excess water using a strainer. (Mushrooms contain 70% of water, and when cooked, they become fleshy, and the water gets separated.
- In a separate pan, heat 3 tablespoons sunflower oil, add chopped garlic, onions, curry leaves, and dry red chilies and saute until onions turn translucent/ golden brown.
- Add the fleshy mushrooms, chili powder, salt and stir well.
Cook the mushrooms till the moisture has evaporated.
Transfer the dish to a serving bowl and serve hot.
