Although really easy to put together with just a handful of ingredients, my Peppered Mushroom-Potato Stir Fry packs a huge flavor wallop, thanks mainly to the ground black pepper.
It's also quite versatile- as most potato dishes are. So here it is: hope you'll try it!
Peppered Mushroom-Potato Stir Fry
Ingredients:
2 large potatoes, cut into chunky cubes and then zapped in the microwave for about 5 minutes with a few tablespoons of water so they are tender but just short of well-cooked.
1 cup crimini or button mushrooms, halved or quartered (if very big)
1 red onion, sliced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tbsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp canola oil
Salt to taste
Heat the oil in a cast-iron or non-stick skillet.
Stir-fry the onions until they start to brown.
Add the garlic, curry leaves and black pepper and stir for a minute.
Add the mushrooms and stir to coat with the oil and pepper.
Add the drained potatoes. Stir occasionally until the potatoes are golden-brown.
Salt to taste. Serve hot!

ReplyDeleteby the way I like the new look of your blog.
ReplyDeleteYour welcome Vaishali. Even though I want to start cooking mushrooms a lot more than I am actually doing now, somehow the smell does not appeal to me. Do you have any tips to avoid the smell? Or maybe I should get used to it, I guess!
ReplyDeleteThanxx Vaishali for visiting :))
ReplyDeletelove the combo vishali
ReplyDeleteMansi, Thanks! I hope you do.
ReplyDeleteMadhavi, Welcome, and thanks.
Saswati, Sia, Srikar's kitchen, Liz: Thanks!
Uma, Thanks, dear. Sorry to hear, though, you don't like mushrooms. I love the texture and the fact that they take on the flavors of spices as beautifully as they do.
Madhuram, I guess you're talking about the earthy smell that "meatier" mushrooms like portabella have? In that case, you might want to try the white button mushrooms which are really tender and don't have the earthy smell.
Madhavi, You're welcome!
Sagari, Thanks!
Vaishali I'm talking about the white button mushrooms too. When I make mushroom soup, while sauteeing it I get an unpleasant odor. Maybe it's just me! Since my son love mushroom soup I either get the canned one or close my nose while preparing it myself.
