as the same suggest, don’t think that a lot of chillies are used in the dish. just 2-3 chilies are used with onions. so there is a sweetness from the onions and hint of warmth from the chillies and spices.

mushroom chilli fry is easy to prepare and serve. make this dish when you are very tired or busy and you will thank me. mushroom chilli fry goes best with bread, dinner rolls or pav.

i usually serve mushroom chilli fry with homemade brown bread or pav (indian rolls) or white bread. this time served with black sesame masala bread.

mushroom chilli fry recipe can also be served as a starter or can be had as a side dish. sometimes i make the chilli fry accompanied with some dal as a side dish. but most times as a main dish served with bread. you can also serve mushroom chilli fry with chapatis or naan.

  21. Hi dassana, this dish is going to be a regular in my kitchen. I am the only one who eats mushrooms in my home, and I was looking for something easy so that I’m still left with energy to cook something else for others. this recipe suits perfect my need and tasted so good with rice.

  24. Super awesome for a quick weeknight dinner. Added about 2 tablespoons of buttermilk towards the end of the cooking time and served it with garlic rolls. Yummy!

  27. Goan mushroom chilli fry is really good. I love mushrooms. In the monsoon season usually we will get a lot of natural mushrooms from our backyard and paddy field. It taste great. We make mushroom fry, mushroom thoran, mushroom curry extc.., what a delicious food it is!!?.

  28. Great recipe! I’m a big mushroom fan and have been looking for Indian recipes as generally mushrooms taste great in stir-fries and western dishes but generally lose their innate flavor when they are over-cooked. I wonder how this would taste with other varieties of mushrooms.

    • same here. we are also mushroom fans. though the only variety of mushroom i have tried besides button mushrooms are oyster mushrooms. yet i think, this recipe would go well with other varieties of mushrooms too. with experience one can easily cook mushrooms in the right way without over doing them.
