Caramelized Mushrooms Spicy Flatbread

Mushrooms? Again? What can I do? I love my mushrooms so much. I probably have said this earlier but will repeat, Not only they are full of nutrition, they are super versatile too. A vegetarian’s meat! Marinade them! Grill them! Fry them! Bake them! Toss them! Eat them Raw! Endless possibilities.

I had bought a packet of some store made oblong naans the other day to whip up pizza at the last minute demand of the kids. I probably am going to use Naan as a base from now onwards. Flat bread, thin crust and crispy! Just wonderful. It was so easy to toss some mushrooms in butter, spread them over naan with cheese and a good few dashes of red chili; bake them till golden and gobble them up in no time. Mouthful! Biteful! Just amazing!
