I have tasted mushroom pepper fry in a restaurant and I wanted to recreate the hotel style pepper mushroom at home too….Last time when I bought mushrooms they were a little big so the flavours were not blended well so this time I took a pack of small 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 🙂 Now I have started liking mushrooms again so its going to be mushroom love atleast for a while now or until I forget this pepper fry 🙂
Before you ask me, let me tell you thats the new steel pan I got from Chennai 🙂
Mushroom Pepper Fry Recipe

Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: World
Recipe Category: Starter | Recipe Cuisine: World
Cleaned Mushroom – 1 cup chopped
Whole Pepper – 1 tbsp
Capsicum – 1/2 cut lengthwise
Ginger Garlic Paste – 1 tsp
Big Onion – 1 cut lengthwise
Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli powder – 1/2 tsp
Garam Masala powder – 1/4 tsp
Coriander Leaves – 2 tsp finely chopped
Salt – to taste
To Temper:
Oil – 1 tbsp
Fennel Seeds – 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves – a small sprig
Red Chilli – 1 whole
Method:
- Dry roast whole pepper for 2-3mins or till nice aroma comes.Powder it coarsely,Set aside.Heat oil in a pan – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter.
- Then add onion,ginger garlic paste and saute till golden brown.Add capsicum and saute for few mins until it shrinks a bit.
- Add mushrooms and saute well.It will start leaving water , then add pepper powder,coriander,red chilli and garam masala powders and mix well.Cook in low medium flame for 5-7mins till mushrooms turn soft and the masalas come together.Add required salt, give a quick mix garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
Serve hot with phulka / chapathi.
My Notes:
- Adding capsicum is purely optional.
- You can even add fennel powder if you dont like to add whole fennel seeds.
- This is spicy fry so adjust spice powders if you want to reduce hotness.
- Adding freshly ground pepper powder gives a great flavour.
- This pairs well with phulka / white pulaos / or even with plain rice.
- Mushrooms cook faster so dont overcook.No need to add water just saute in oil.Mushrooms will leave out water and thats enough for it to get cooked.
- If you want more gravy then add tomato puree after onion is fried.
Dear Sharmi,
I see tomato in your pictures, but not in the list / is it red capsicum. Please clear it.
Yes it is red capsicum…..
