Pepper fry with milk is a traditional dish of peppers fried in oil and then cooked with milk. The milk gives the peppers a softer, lightly creamy finish; the exact pepper variety and level of heat can vary.
To make pepper fry with milk, cook washed and thoroughly dried peppers in a little oil until softened. Add milk and simmer gently until the peppers are tender and the liquid has thickened into a light coating.
Yes, bell peppers work well in pepper fry with milk and give it a mild, sweet flavor. Cut them into even strips so they cook at a similar rate, and simmer them in the milk until tender.
Milk can soften the overall taste of pepper fry with milk, but it does not reliably remove the heat from hot peppers. For a milder dish, start with sweet peppers or remove the seeds and inner ribs from spicy ones.
The milk in pepper fry with milk may curdle if it is exposed to very high heat or added cold to a very hot pan. Lower the heat before adding it, then simmer gently rather than boiling hard.
Pepper fry with milk tastes savory and mellow, with the peppers’ sweetness or heat balanced by a soft, creamy note. Its flavor is not like a thick cream sauce; the milk lightly coats the cooked peppers.
Bread or rice goes well with pepper fry with milk and soaks up its milky cooking liquid. It can also accompany grilled meat or beans as part of a larger meal.
Yes, you can soften the peppers in a covered pan with a small amount of oil instead of frying them in plenty of oil. Add the milk once they are tender, then simmer gently to finish the dish.
Refrigerate leftover pepper fry with milk in a covered container promptly, and eat it within a few days. Reheat only the portion you plan to serve, warming it gently so the milk sauce is less likely to split.
Freezing is not ideal for pepper fry with milk because thawed peppers can turn soft and the milk may separate. It is best made fresh or stored in the refrigerator for a few days instead.

Pepper fry with milk is a traditional Turkish preparation of peppers fried in oil, then gently cooked with milk. The peppers soften as they cook, while the milk gives the dish a mild, creamy finish without hiding their flavour.
It is usually served warm as a side or part of a meze spread, and bread is handy for soaking up the milky cooking juices. Depending on the peppers, it can taste sweet or have a little heat. It is vegetable-led but gets some of its energy from the cooking oil; a 100 g portion has about 90 calories. For a lighter version, use less oil and add only enough milk to coat the peppers.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
