chilli mushroom, how to make chilli mushroom recipe

this is a quick indo chinese chilli mushroom recipe. most of the times i make food which are easy to prepare and quick. some indian recipes are time consuming but at times all i want is to make something quick for our rumbling tummies. and at times it is the best to make some quick indo chinese recipes. yes quick ones, not the ones which have extensive chopping and preparation like the veg manchurian or gobi manchurian.

and when i have mushrooms in handy this is what i make most of the times apart from the italian garlic mushroom.

this is my way of making quick chilly mushroom. no preparing the batter and then frying the mushrooms separately. the mushrooms are stir fried till well browned and then the sauce is made. this is one recipe that you can make when you want to have some hot and spicy chinese food.

this chilli mushroom recipe is really spicy as apart from green chilies, i have also added red chili paste. so you can imagine…. decrease the quantity of green chilies and red chili paste if you want less heat and spice.

instead of thinking of ordering a takeaway or going to the nearby chinese restaurant, prepare this chilly mushroom at home. you won’t regret.

as you see in the pics, we had the chilly mushroom with some homemade whole wheat sesame burger buns. the buns just soaked up the sauce and it was yummm.

the chilli mushroom gravy also goes very well with naan, rotis and plain boiled rice. if you have more time and patience than you can make some chinese veg fried rice to go with it.
