Stir-Fried Spicy Mushrooms
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon whole brown mustard seeds
- 1/4 teaspoon whole fennel seeds
- 15 fresh curry leaves or 10 fresh basil leaves, torn up
- 1 pound cremini or plain white medium-sized mushrooms, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

- 23 teaspoons lime or lemon juice
- 12 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro or parsley
- Put the oil in a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat.
- When hot, drop in the mustard seeds.
- As soon as the mustard seeds start to pop, a matter of seconds, put in the fennel seeds and curry leaves.
- A few seconds later, add the mushrooms and garlic.
- Stir and fry until the liquid begins to ooze out from the mushrooms, about 2 minutes.
- Now add about 1/31/2 teaspoon salt (taste as you go), the cayenne, and the lime juice.
- Stir for a minute.
- Taste for balance of flavors.
- Add the cilantro, stir, and turn off the heat.
