Mushroom Chilli Fry Recipe – One of my favorite recipe is Mushroom Chili Fry Recipe made in Goan way. I usually make the Indo Chinese style but the Goan mushroom chili fry taste great too. Also I have used portobello mushrooms which tastes better than button mushrooms also tastes even better with this recipe.
You could club mushroom chili fry with pao (bread), rice or tastes even good with roti. If you don’t have mushrooms then replace with parboiled potatoes, chicken or paneer.
Mushroom Chili Fry Recipe is less spicy as less chilies are used. So use chilies as per your preference. Also if the mushroom chili fry stays back which I don’t think would happen. You could use them as stuffing in sandwiches, burgers, wraps or I would even use them in my omelettes with cheese.
I have adapted and slightly modified the recipe from Dassana’s site vegrecipesofindia. Dassana has wonderful recipes on her site and I have tried a few which were very good.

Please advise as to how long you leave the mushrooms in the salted water. I am guessing that you are trying to reduce their water content before cooking them.
maria says
Keep mushrooms in salted water for 10-15 mins. Hope this helps you 🙂

Hey this looks delicious. However where can I buy portobello mushroom in Mumbai?
maria says
Priti portobello mushrooms should be available at hypercity or some vegetable vendors. You could use normal button mushrooms also for this recipe. Thanks and hope this helps you, do share your views 🙂
