How To Make spicy mushrooms with ginger and chilies
-
Step 1Measure the spices and place them right next to the stove in separate piles. Heat the oil in a kadhai, wok, or large frying pan over medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
-
Step 2Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the ginger, garlic, and chilies, and cook for 2 more minutes.
-
Step 3Add the tumeric, mushrooms, and salt. Cook, turning them, until all the moisture evaporates and the mushrooms begin to fry (about 15 minutes).
-
Step 4Lower the heat, sprinkle on the cumin seeds and the lemon juice, mix well, and continue cooking until the mushrooms absorb the lemon juice and look fried (about 5 minutes).
-
Step 5Turn off the heat and serve warm, at room temperature, or cold, sprinkled with chopped fresh coriander.
