I came across this wonderful recipe at www.vahrehvah.com. I tried it right away and the end result was very delicious. This fry goes well with both plain rice and chapatis. I've followed the instructions as it is with just a small tweak. I've used Hoko Bunapi mushrooms (one among several species of Shimeji mushrooms) to prepare the fry and we loved it's taste. {I'll post more information about mushrooms soon}.
WARNING: Many mushrooms are poisonous. Please buy mushrooms from a reliable grocer or market.
