mushroom pepper fry recipe | pepper mushroom | how to make crispy pepper fry mushroom with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and flavoured south indian starter or side dish recipe made with sliced mushroom and pepper powder. typically in south india, this dish is made as a side to sambar rice or rasam rice combination, but can also be served as a starter. moreover, it is generally made as a dry dish, but can also be served with a sauce, if it is prepared as a main.
well, to be honest, i am not a huge fan of pepper-based recipes and i try to avoid as much as possible. i feel it unnecessary increases the spice level of any dish, even though it is a better option in terms of health. having said that, pepper-based recipes are very common in my house, because my husband just loves it. he likes to have some side dish with his rice-based meal and pepper-based one are his most favourite ones. particularly the pepper mushroom is the most prefered one as it is much easier to prepare. mushroom when compared to other veggies like, potatoes and beans gets cooked easily. moreover, the mushroom adds the extra soft and tenderness texture when it is cooked. i personally like this feature of mushroom and hence i end up making this most of the time.
furthermore, before wrapping up, i would like to add some tips, suggestions and variations to mushroom pepper fry recipe. firstly, i would heavily recommend using button mushroom for this recipe. it would easily slice and at the same time do not crumble or meltdown when cooked. moreover, i would recommend getting bigger size mushrooms for this recipe. secondly, the pepper has to be added generously to this recipe, as it is the main source of taste and flavour. however, if you are serving it to kids, you need to extra careful as the spice level can be too much to handle for them. lastly, the mushroom would start releasing its water once it is rested. hence you may drain the excess water before reheating it in the microwave or in a pan.
