2. When the mushroom has become a little droopy and the capsicum is no longer very crisp but still a little crisp you can remove the pan from the flame. Transfer it to a serving pan and garnish it with finely chopped fresh coriander.
Serve hot with Roti(indian bread). This dish goes well with Rice and daal too.
