Pepper Mushroom

I came to know about this recipe from a chef, two years back. He is brother to my childhood teacher, he used to tell me recipes and some tips in cooking. He gave me the pepper mushroom recipe and told me to try it as it will be very tasty, but I never tried it as my hubby don't like pepper. Two days back when I am reading a magazine, I came across this recipe. But this time I want to give it a try atleast for one time. Finally, I prepared it and for my surprise, it was a big hit with my husband. He told me that the combination of mushroom and pepper was very good.
                                In this recipe, we will coarsely grind the pepper, garlic and cumin and add the masala at last. This masala is the key to this recipe, which gives the flavorful taste and aroma.

• Salt as per taste
• 1tsp Pepper corns
• 1/4 tsp Cumin seeds
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice
• 1 Spring Curry leaves

Method:

• Coarsely grind garlic pods, pepper and cumin seeds. Keep aside. (I like garlic with skin, if you don't like remove it).
