Chilli Garlic Mushroom

Mushrooms are although classified as a vegetable they are botanically a fungi. They are so versatile that they can be used in soups, stir-fry, stuffing and even stand alone dishes. One of the ways I enjoy having it is cooking it in a spicy sauce and pairing it with some mash. 

So lets see how thats made-

Servings 2 to 3

1.5 cup of Mushroom(sliced) 

1/ 2 cup Onion (finely chopped)

3 to 4 Dried Red Chillies

3 /4 Tbsp of Lemon Juice

Step 3

The 3 to 4 dried red chillies provide a medium spice to the dish. One can add more to increase the spice level.
