MUSHROOM PEPPER FRY | MUSHROOM PEPPER MASALA |MUSHROOM RECIPES

Now-a-days we started including mushrooms twice a month , as they say it is very good source of protein. Generally i make Mushroom Masala or Kadai Mushroom . So i wanted to try something different this time and made this mushroom pepper fry. For a change i made a dry subzi in chettinad style with freshly ground spices. The pepper fry was very nice and it tasted well with rasam rice.

Ingredients

  Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 10|        Serves: 2

    Button Mushrooms      10
    Onion            1

Method:

• Clean the mushrooms and slice them into thin long pieces.
• Slice the onion into thin and slit the green chilli.
• In a pan add oil and throw in the mustard seeds, green chilli and curry leaves.

• Ground the black pepper, coriander seeds, fennel seeds and cumin seeds using a mortar and pestle.

• Add the onions to the oil and saute till they become translucent. Add in the mushrooms, turmeric powder and salt. Mix well and cook in a low flame.

• Add the freshly ground spices to this and mix well. No need to add water while cooking.
• The mushroom tends to ooze out water . This will get cooked very fast also.

• Cook for 2 minutes till the water evaporates. Switch off the flame and serve hot with rice or roti.

Notes:

1. You can add fennel powder, coriander powder, cumin seed powder and pepper powder instead of grinding this .
2. But using freshly ground spices will give a great aroma to the mushroom masala.
