Today, keeping with the word: “Simplicity”, I share with you this recipe. Its a humble dish made with Oyster Mushrooms (Sippi Kaalaan). Its my Dad’s favorite dish. So, there is no “its” and “buts”, I prepare it in the same fashion, all the time.

Method

In a wide wok, heat oil and add the tempering spices to it. Then, add chilies, ginger and onion to it. Fry real good. Add, mushrooms to it. Further add salt, turmeric, chili and pepper powder to the same. Stir-fry over high heat. Once the moisture is all gone and oil shows up on the sides, remove from heat.
