A quick and healthy side for the busy weekday..

white / button mushrooms

red onions, coriander leaves (cilantro), ginger, green chillies and garlic..all minced. You can add ginger garlic paste too, but I think the flavors work better when minced.

Sauté the chillies, garlic and ginger in a tsp of oil.

Sauté the onions and cilantro.

Add the mushrooms. Sprinkle salt and cover and cook for 1 minute.

Mushrooms will sweat and they give out a lot of water.Add 2 tsp of turmeric powder (optional).

Add loads of freshly ground black pepper.

Cook until all the water evaporates.

If needed add a tsp of oil to crisp the mushrooms slightly.

And its done. While it makes a great side for rice, I have also used it as filling for wraps, quesadillas and sandwiches. The whole thing will be done in 10 mins, unless you really take your time to chop  🙂
