Instructions
-
Preparation of Mushrooms: Start by washing the button mushrooms thoroughly, patting them dry, and quartering them. Set them aside for later.
-
-
Making the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the corn flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Gradually add water, using a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a thick batter that will coat the mushrooms nicely.
-
Coating the Mushrooms: Add the quartered mushrooms to the batter, ensuring they are well coated. Let them sit for a few minutes while you prepare for frying.
-
Deep Frying: Heat sunflower oil in a Kadai or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add a few mushrooms at a time and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove them and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
-
Stir-Frying with Spices: In another Kadai or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the grated ginger, garlic, slit green chillies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a few minutes until fragrant.
-
Combining Ingredients: Add the fried mushrooms to the spice mix, followed by black pepper and tandoori masala. Stir-fry until the mushrooms are thoroughly coated with the spices. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
-
Finishing Touches: Stir in the finely chopped coriander leaves, turning off the heat. Transfer the Mushroom 65 to a serving bowl.
-
Serving: Serve your Mushroom 65 hot as an irresistible appetizer, perfect for any occasion!
