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.
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.
