About this Recipe
This quick, easy and tasty recipe is inspired from Indian Chinese flavors. Its one of those earliest Mushroom recipes that I always make on a tired, hungry weeknight ?
Sliced/ diced mushrooms coated with seasoned flour and fried is tossed with bell peppers, onions and Indian Chinese sauce. A quick garnish of cilantro and green onions and I have dinner on table. Pair it with steaming hot rice or noodles and I am sorted.
A special mention to the Indian Chinese sauces. I generally use the Red Chili sauce, Soy sauce and White Vinegar combination. The chili sauce is also easily available at an Indian grocery.
