Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz mushrooms, white button (or mushrooms of choice)
  • 1 tsp oil of choice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds  (jeera)
  • 5 garlic cloves (1 tsp minced)
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder    (cayenne pepper)
  • 1/4 tsp chaat masala  
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/4 cup cilantro
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Method
 

Prep
  1. Rinse the mushrooms and dry them with a paper towel. I like to remove the bottom of the stem which is frequently dirty and sometimes a bit woody. Chop the mushrooms into  4 pieces.
  2. Mince the garlic and set aside.
Cook
  1. When you are ready to cook in a heavy-bottom skillet on medium heat, add in unsalted butter and oil.
  2. Add in cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds sizzle add in minced garlic. Further let it cook for a minute until fragrant. Stir.
  3. Add in red chili powder, crushed red chili pepper, chaat masala, salt, and stir well.
  4. Add in 2 tablespoon water. Further, add the mushrooms and let them cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft and until the mushrooms leave water and reduce slightly in size. Finally, top with cilantro and lemon juice.
