Come Winters and we are flooded with a variety of fresh and healthy Vegetables and Fruits. That's the magic of this Season. And so are the markets too flooded with these sacks of natural goodness these days that are filled with utmost nutritional value.
One such delightful Vegetable are the good old Mushrooms.
This is my way of doing a simple take on the ever popular Indo-Chinese starter dish known to everyone of us as the Chilli Chicken. It's made in two ways, dry and gravy based. In this particular Vegetarian version of it, I have used Mushrooms and kept it mildly gravy based with a bang. That's it.
And also I have kept it a bit simple without actually deep frying the Mushroom halves coated with the batter. As a matter of fact, I have stir fried the Vegetables and have maintained the crunch.
And I usually pack this for Lunch for my family and also serve it for Dinner as well with simple homemade Rotis.
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
