Then add the chopped mushrooms. Keep sauteing till the water from mushrooms evaporates completely.
Next, add the sliced bell peppers and salt. Continue to sauté the bell peppers till they are nearly done.
Time to add the spices. Add the crushed fennel seeds and peppercorns to the pan along with turmeric powder and coriander-cumin powder. Give it all a good mix and cook for another minute before turning off the flame.
