Add garlic and sauté for a minute to get a good aroma. Add mushrooms and chili. Sauté for 2 minutes. Cover and cook until the mushrooms are half done.

Add capsicum (bell peppers) and spring onions, toss and fry till the capsicums are almost cooked but not soft. Make sure mushrooms are cooked as well.
