Kadai mushroom recipe, Kadai mushroom dry

Kadai mushroom (dry) is a spicy and masala flavored dish with crunchiness from capsicum is such a simple and easy to make side dish that always remains as one of my top priority whenever I make roti or chapati. I have been making this dish since the time I learnt cooking as it does not involve any grinding or pre preparation. Kadai mushroom can be prepared with paneer too but as I am a big fan of mushrooms I often prepare it with this and prefer it to be little dry. One thing that i admire about this dish is the cube shaped onion and capsicum/ bell pepper which adds to beautiful presentation and also little crunchiness when you bite in. So lets get to the making!
