Pin Pallipalayam Mushroom is an easy spicy mushroom fry famous in Erode district. I have tasted Pallipalayam chicken in a hotel and wanted to give it a try. But when I saw fresh mushrooms changed the idea and made Pallipalayam mushroom. Ths Pallipalayam cuisine got its name as its famous in a town named ‘Pallipalayam’ near Erode.Pallipalayam chicken is famous find by Chef Jacob who is no more now. This Pallipalayam dish is very popular in restaurants in and around Kongunadu. It includes Pallipalayam chicken, mushroom,paneer etc. Pallipalayam Mushroom is a spicy fry made with mushrooms, lots of shallots(small onion), red chillies and coconut as main ingredients. The orginal pallipalayam style includes no major ingredients added including spice powders, the flavour comes just from the shallots, red chillies and coconut. But I added few spice powders to make it more flavourful. The coconut bits add a great crunch to this dish so don’t miss it.

My tips while making Pallipalayam Mushroom Fry Recipe:
You can skip tomatoes and make it with just small onion, red chillies and coconut too. The orginal pallipalayam recipe requires no major ingredients just small onion, red chillies, curry leaves, coconut along with mushroom. You can replace small onion with big onion too but small onion adds more flavour to this dish. Mushroom leaves water and cooks faster too, so saute well check and then add water to cook if needed. The dish should not be too dry or watery, it should be moist with masalas coated.
