If you put mushrooms on a barbecue skewer, you will sprinkle them with cumin powder and chili powder.

Cooking tips
Like many stir-fries, this recipe uses a two-stage cooking process. First, the mushrooms are blanched, then sauteed and finally stir-fried in the sauce.
Set a large saucepan, or your wok about half full of water on the stove to boil while you prepare the ingredients. Put the mushrooms in the boiling water, bring back to a boil for 30 seconds. Then drain the mushrooms and plunge into cold water. Squeeze the water from the mushrooms, and proceed with the final stage of cooking.
