MUSHROOM PEPPER FRY
Mushrooms are a rich source of protein and I make it a point to make some mushroom dish or the other from time to time. The easy availability of white button mushrooms has made this possible. Needless to say, I think all these dishes are delicious and you will find recipes for some of my favourites like Achari Kumbh and Mushroom Chettinad here in this blog.
The addition of freshly ground pepper powder gives an altogether different taste to the cooked mushrooms in this Mushroom Pepper Fry. The spice level can be adjusted as per your taste.
