I know one method io:fwrite(). Are there any other better or recommended functions for directly printing Erlang terms?

io:format/2 is the most common form. Check out the manual page for io.

io:format and io:fwrite are the same. I was just looking for some other commonly used alternatives, if any. I remember reading about some function, cant remember its name, something like puts. I hoped some one could point me to it.

There are no other commonly used alternatives. All io goes through the io module. You might be confusing it with the process dictionary which has the functions put and get.
