- Wipe off excess dirt with a damp towel or give mushrooms a quick rinse and dry. Cut bigger mushrooms into similar- sized pieces. Don’t cut them super thin as they will shrink up while cooking.
- Do not overcrowd your pan. This is one of the main reasons for soggy, unappetizing mushrooms. Allow plenty of room for a good sear and turn sparingly.
- Turn the heat up to medium-high and allow time for your coconut oil to get hot before adding the mushrooms. Keeping the heat up will help moisture evaporate quickly giving you a beautifully caramelized mushroom. If mushrooms are giving off lots of moisture keep the heat going until it’s gone.
- Cook mushroom for 3-5 minutes before turning. Stir and allow mushrooms to finish cooking for a couple more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Large mushrooms can take a little extra time.
- Serve it hot with neeragaram. Believe me you will ask for once more!!
