To make this dish first onion & tomatoes are stir fried then spiced with masala powder and chilli powder. Then the mushrooms are stir fried in the onion tomato masala.

So the dish is not very dry & goes well even with rice or roti. I sometimes also use this to make kathi rolls & sandwiches.

I make mushroom stir fry in different ways. You can also check these variations – mushroom pepper fry, Chilli mushroom stir fry & this hot garlic mushrooms

The recipe shared here is the simplest way you can make a flavorful mushroom stir fry. I have used cashews here, you can replace them with green peas, tofu or even paneer.

Instructions

  • Chop onions, slit green chilies. Soak cashews for 15 minutes or rinse green peas, drain them and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin, mustard, allow them to splutter. Fry ginger garlic paste for 2 mins.
  • Add onions and fry them evenly till they brown, not burnt. While the onions fry, you can chop the mushrooms. 
  • Next add tomato and saute until the moisture dries up and the raw smell goes off. 
  • Add chili powder, garam masala, curry leaves and turmeric. Saute until the raw smell has gone, just for a minute.
  • Add chopped mushrooms, cashews and salt. Fry on a medium flame till you begin to get an aroma of mushrooms. This takes 2 mins.
  • Cover and cook on a low flame till the mushrooms are cooked, giving a good stir in between. Do not overcook as mushrooms tend to become soggy very fast. Add lemon juice if desired.
  • Serve mushroom fry with rice and ghee or chapathi.
