Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

Garlic Mushrooms Recipe is an easy Portobello or button mushrooms cooked in a huge amount of garlic. Sautéed Mushrooms swimming in a hot and thick garlic sauce which is neither Indian nor Chinese; so Chindian or Indo-Chinese? This Garlic Mushrooms Recipe is very flexible and goes well with anything; bread, noodles, rice, roti or naan. I serve it as a starter too by opting out of the cornflour paste.

Minimal ingredients go into this slurpy, aromatic, garlicky mushroom curry. Mushrooms are one of my favourites and you can make Shahi Mushroom Biryani, Mushroom Masala, Mushroom Fried rice, or even Stuffed Mushrooms.

How to make Garlic Mushrooms Recipe

The mushrooms are first tossed in a pan and then add to the garlic sauce. Crushed garlic and Onion sautéed till pink with coloured peppers makes the base for this sauce. Once the mushrooms are added, add a cornflour slurry to thicken the sauce.
