How To Make Garlic Mushrooms
Heat a pan with oil. When the oil is hot enough, add mace or cumin.
Wait for 30 seconds, add onions and saute until golden. While the onions fry, rinse & slice the mushrooms.
Add in the garlic sauce and saute for 2 to 3 mins without burning.
Make sure the raw smell of garlic has gone and the mixture turns aromatic.
Next add the sliced mushrooms and saute for 2 to 3 mins.
Cover and cook on a medium to low heat until the mushrooms are cooked to your liking.
Transfer garlic mushrooms to a serving plate and garnish with coriander leaves and onions.
Garlic mushrooms can be served as a side with basmati rice or as a stuffing in a sandwich or wrap.
You can also toss some rice, noodles or spaghetti in the same pan.
