Mushroom Stir Fry One Pot Indian Style

I get a lot of requests to post recipes that are quick to make and do not take long hours of cooking. I will be adding such recipes that can be made quickly, but without compromising on the health factor and using fresh ingredients. This recipe of mushroom stir fry is one I make at times along with the Mushroom fry and Garlic butter mushroom. These three recipes are my savior recipes on days when I do not have the luxury of time to cook an elaborate meal. Usually I have wheat dough in the fridge, so after the mushrooms are cooked, I make phulkas and prepare a quick veggie salad. There are various ways and methods through which a stir fry recipe can be made. There are many variations possible. There are different recipes for stir-fries like Chinese, Thai, Malaysian and so on. I have also posted the recipe of Mushroom pepper fry which is a spicy recipe of mushrooms with black pepper. This particular mushroom stir fry recipe is Indian style and uses basic ingredients that are easily available in an Indian kitchen. Everything is cooked in one pot or pan. All the prep work, you need to do is slice the onions, green chilies and chop the mushrooms. The rest of the cooking is just stir-frying or sauteing the ingredients in a pan. This Mushroom Stir Fry tastes best with chapatis, parathas or any bread. You can also use it as a stuffing in sandwiches, wraps and rolls. The recipe can be easily scaled as per your requirements.

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.
8. 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.
9. Now add the following ingredients:

⅛ teaspoon turmeric powder or about 2 to 3 pinches½ teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder½ teaspoon garam masala powder1 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. More Tasty Mushroom recipes
