Instructions
Make mushroom pepper fry
- Heat 1 & ½ tablespoons oil in a carbon steel wok on high-medium heat. Add ¾ teaspoon mustard seeds, ½ teaspoon fennel seeds and let them crackle. Then add 2 dried red chilies (broken) and stir.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 medium green bell pepper (chopped) and 6-7 curry leaves. Cook for 2 minutes on high heat.
- Then add 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons tomato paste and cook 30 seconds.
- Now, add the spices, 1 teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon cumin powder and 3/4 teaspoon salt (to taste). You may also add some red chili powder at this point. Sprinkle around 1 tablespoon water and cook the spices on high heat for 30 seconds.
- Now, add 450 -500 grams mushrooms (sliced), along with ½ teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground). Cook the mushrooms on high heat for 3 to 4 minutes until cooked. They should have a nice bite to them.
Make Tzatziki
- In a bowl mix together, ½ cup Greek yogurt (I used full fat, plain), 2 garlic cloves (grated), 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 tablespoons mint leaves (chopped), ½ cup cucumber (grated), and ¼ teaspoon salt using a wire whisk. Your tzatziki is ready.
Assemble the sliders
- Warm up 50 mini naans in microwave or oven. Apply the prepared tzatziki on each naan slider (around a teaspoon on each). Add the prepared mushroom pepper fry on top of each naan. Close with another mini naan to make a slider. You can garnish them with mint leaves. Serve immediately!
Notes
- I have used naan dippers that you get at Costco. If you can't find then, you can also use regular mini rolls for these sliders.
- You can definitely add some cheese to these sliders, I would recommend cheddar cheese.
- To cut short the process, use pre-sliced mushrooms that you can buy at the grocery store.
