Pepper Mushroom Curry

Pepper dishes are always very much welcome in my family...when we were kids, my mom used to prepare atleast twice a month any pepper side dishes with chicken or mutton..pepper is well known for their many medicial value, freshly grounded pepper enhance the spiciness and aroma of this dish which gives a delicious flavour and fabulous spicy taste to this mushroom curry..Dry roasting and grinding whole black peppers brings the full flavour of pepper to this dish, better dont use the already grounded pepper powder..This mushroom curry goes prefect with sambhar and rasam..This is my one more entry to RCI-Pondicherry guest hosted by Lavi of Home Cooks Recipes, as this side dish is very common in Pondicherry, my native and the event started by Lakhsmi ....
