Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams button mushrooms (cleaned and halved)
- 120 grams plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Add the halved button mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and start to turn golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, red chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the yogurt mixture over the mushrooms. Stir well to coat the mushrooms evenly.
Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and clings to the mushrooms.
Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir to combine.
Transfer the chili yogurt mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer.
