How to make Mushroom Stir Fry
1. Heat 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Then add ½ teaspoon cumin seeds. You can also crush the cumin seeds lightly in a mortar-pestle and then add.
2. Add sliced onions.
3. Stir and begin to saute the onions on a low to medium heat.
4. Saute the onions stirring often till they turn translucent or light brown.
5. Then add the chopped or sliced white button mushrooms. You can wipe the mushrooms with a clean kitchen towel and then chop or you can rinse them and then chop.
I take each mushroom and rinse it well to remove the mud particles. Then slice the stalk a bit and chop the mushrooms. I also slice bruised part if any in the mushrooms.
6. Mix the mushrooms with the onions. Begin to saute or stir fry on a medium to high heat.
7. Keep on stirring the mushrooms at intervals. The mushrooms will release water first.
8. Continue to cook, till all the water dries up.
9. After the water has dried, continue to saute till the mushrooms look glossy as well as they are slightly browned from the edges.
10. Even if they are not lightly browned, they should be cooked well.
11. Now add the following ingredients:
- ⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder or about 2 to 3 pinches
- ½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 green chili (sliced or chopped)
12. Mix the spices very well with the mushrooms.
13. Season with salt as per taste.
14. Mix the salt with the stir fried mushrooms. Saute for a minute then switch off the heat. Lastly add 2 tablespoons of coriander leaves and mix again very well.
15. Serve mushroom stir fry hot with chapatis, paratha or bread. You can also make sandwiches or wraps with this mushroom stuffing.
