Mushroom Recipe Easy Indian

Do you like mushrooms? No, I mean do you LOVE mushrooms like we do? We made Burnt Garlic Mushroom fried rice last month and OD-ed on it. And we can never get enough of mushrooms, so here’s my South Indian Style Mushroom Pepper Fry. Honestly, Denver and I were just digging into this dish even before we sat down for lunch.

This mushroom pepper roast is spicy because we loooove pepper and always put lots of it. The tangy tomato paste that goes into it gives the dish an acidic hit. And this is a super-fast mushroom recipe, it literally takes about 15 minutes to put it all together. And we’re in mushroomy umami paradise. Here’s how to make a south Indian style mushroom pepper roast that you can eat for lunch, snack, and dinner! Or breakfast - pepper mushrooms on toast?

In south India, pepper roast chicken and other meat is supremely popular. Here’s the key to getting that distinct south Indian pepper roast flavour: First, of course, generous amounts of pepper which gives the heat and second, a handful of fresh curry leaves or kari patta added in the tempering does the trick. Try this recipe with chicken or any other red meat of choice, and you’ll see that the pepper and the curry leaves are what make this dish YUM-MAZING.

I hate soggy mushrooms, the texture is not very appetising. Mushrooms should remain plump and juicy at the end of the cooking process. And for the longest time, I hadn’t realised that this was a heat control thingy. We are wiser now 😂 You have to cook the mushrooms on high flame until they’re done so that they caramelise and retain their juiciness.

There is no bland version of this recipe, LOL. We love adding generous amounts of freshly ground pepper, even if it means our tongues are on fire. The heat comes from the pepper, not from the chillies that are added to the tempering. I recommend using freshly ground pepper for this recipe because pre-ground pepper powder invariably loses it’s freshness and hit of spice.

Another variation of this dish is to generously add lemon juice at the very end, once the mushrooms are cooked. Makes for a perfect rainy day snack!
