Colorful Mushroom

Does the name sound too catchy?? I couldn't help but call it this :)

Actually when I was done cooking this and I saw this on my plate, all I could think of was, 'colorful mushrooms'. It is this way because I have used red, yellow and green pepper (capsicum) and seriously  no other stunts. Pretty basic and simple recipe, which came out more of necessity rather than any other reasons. I had mushrooms and some red, yellow and green  pepper (leftovers from the day when I had made Tortilla Rolls) and somehow I had to use them. So I cooked them all together without adding no spices whatsoever and what came out was really nice and tasty, best part being - it was done with so quickly.


All that I used :
(Serves 3-4)
  • Mushroom - about 20
  • Red pepper - 1 small
  • Yellow pepper - 1 small
  • Green pepper - 1 small
  • Onion - 1 medium sized
  • Green chilly - 1 or 2
  • Oil - 2 tsp
  • Salt - to taste

How I made it :
  • Chop the clean mushrooms into small squared shape pieces. Use the stems as well.
  • Chop the peeled onion into small squared pieces.
  • Chop the washed red, yellow and green into small squared pieces.
  • Chop the green chilies.
  • Heat the oil in a skillet.
  • Add the chopped onion and the green chilly pieces. Toss and stir them for a minute on medium heat.
  • Now add the mushroom. Keep the heat on medium to high as the mushroom might leave water and we want that to evaporate soon. Keep mixing well.
  • Since mushroom is cut in tiny pieces, it will not take much long to cook them. So cook them on medium heat now for about 3-5 minutes till they start getting softer.
  • Add the cut colored peppers.Toss nicely. We want the pepper to be crunchy so we won't be cooking them for long and the mushroom is almost done now too.
  • Add salt to taste. Mix well.
  • About 2 minutes and we should be done. Switch of the gas. If you want the peppers to be little more soft, cook a little while more.

Serve it with hot roti or plain paratha.

Note:
  • You could do this with just any one kind of (colored) pepper. I used all three colors as they were readily available with me.
