I have tasted mushroom pepper fry in a restaurant and I wanted to recreate the hotel style pepper mushroom at home too. So this time I took a pack of tender button mushrooms and made this spicy mushroom pepper fry yesterday to pair it along with pulao and it turned out finger lickingly good that the curry was almost over soon after I clicked, So I made it again with another cleaned batch of mushrooms to pair it with corn pulao for lunch.

Expert Tips
Adding capsicum is purely optional but adds nice crunch and flavor to this dish. You can even add fennel powder and coriander powder instead of crushing. Add 1/2 teaspoon each. This is spicy fry so adjust spice powders if you want to reduce hotness. Adding freshly ground pepper powder gives a great flavor. This pairs well with phulka / white pulaos / or even with plain rice. Mushrooms cook faster so don’t overcook. No need to add water just saute in oil. Mushrooms will leave out water and that’s enough for it to get cooked. Make sure to fry in high heat after mushrooms are added.
Serving & Storing Suggestion
Serve hot with roti or pulao. Mushroom Pepper Fry keeps well in room temperature for a day and in fridge for another day. But I would suggest to consume it fresh.
