Mushroom Masala aur Lal Mirch Subzi (Mushroom Masala sauté with Red Bell Peppers)

 
Don’t cringe, I see you!  Give me 5 minutes and I’ll change your mind. 

I know the thought of mushrooms doesn’t appeal to most people, but it can be a fun vegetable 
to work with if it’s cooked right.

Here is one such dish.  Believe it or not, my inspiration for this lovely mushroom dish comes 
from Italian cooking.

When I make my Mushroom & Green Pepper Pasta, I typically start with a sauté of garlic, 
onions, peppers, and mushrooms.  I then proceed to add tomatoes and in this case followed by 
Indian spices.  The key to making this Mushroom Masala dish is to dice up all the veggies. banana 176  
The end result is a fantastic melody of sweet and spicy flavors combined with a lemony 
freshness of cilantro to form one unique dish.  Try this deliciously delectable Mushroom 
Masala dish with rice or naan.

    Gorgeous! Such a wonderful colour and a lovely array of flavours… I love using mushrooms in my Indian cooking!
    Don't forget mushrooms are also a good source of copper & selenium… and they are the only veggie with vitamin D! Cheers!

    @BirdCage – I'm so glad you had luck with this recipe – I thought it was fantastic. Even for someone who wouldn't like mushrooms, I think the red bell peppers add a sweetness which sort of masks the mushrooms.
