My 60th recipe "Mushroom Pepper Salt", a quick and easy 6 ingredient flavor bomb. Mushroom is something I had not eaten before marriage. I was of the opinion that mushrooms are non-vegetarian due to their meaty flavor. After marriage, when RK had invited his friends home for lunch, he suggested to me to prepare a mushroom dish. He did enough convincing to make me believe that mushrooms are vegetarian and would be a crowd favorite.

Since I hadn't cooked with mushrooms before, I tried to keep it simple by adding the asian flavors which I am comfortable with. You would not believe me. RK was absolutely right. Though there was gobi manchurian, fried rice, pizza and other dishes on the menu, this simple mushroom dish was a party stealer and everyone's favorite. And mine too 😉
