Ingredients

Scale
  • Oil for deep frying
  • 1¼ cups of Besan (gram flour)
  • ¼ cup of White rice flour
  • 1 teaspoon of Curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon of Cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon of Salt
  • ½ teaspoon of Coriander powder
  • ¼ teaspoon of Baking Powder
  • 1 cup of Water
  • 1 lb of Button or Crimini MUSHROO’S

Instructions

  1. Let the Oil Party Begin: Heat the oil in a pot or deep fryer to a sizzling 350°F. Make sure you have about 2-3 inches of oil to ensure perfect frying.
  2. Unleash the Flavor Frenzy: In a large bowl, combine the besan, rice flour, curry powder, cumin seeds, salt, and baking powder. Mix everything well until you have a thick batter. Let it sit for approximately 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Dive into the Batter Bath: Dip each MUSHROO into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated while allowing any excess batter to drip off. With finesse, gently transfer them to the heated oil. Get ready for the sizzle!
  4. Fry to Golden Perfection: Fry the mushrooms for a few minutes on each side, keeping a close eye on them as they turn into a delightful golden brown and crispy texture. As the aroma fills the air, your mouth might start watering—it’s an entirely natural reaction!
  5. Rescue and Rest: Once the MUSHROO’S have reached crispy perfection, use a slotted metal spoon to rescue them from the oil and transfer them to paper towels. This will help drain any excess oil and allow them to rest for a moment.
  6. It’s Serving Time: For the ultimate experience, serve the MUSHROO pakoras piping hot. Gather your friends and family and accompany them with a side of cilantro-mint chutney to create an explosion of flavors that will leave everyone craving for more.
  7. Get Ready for a Taste Sensation: MUSHROO Pakora, the Life of Your Next Party!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Can I use a different flour instead of besan (gram flour)?

Besan (gram flour) is traditionally used for pakoras, providing a unique texture and flavor. However, you can experiment with other flours, like chickpea flour or rice flour, for a variation in taste and texture.


Is there a vegetarian or vegan alternative for this recipe?

Yes, this recipe is vegetarian-friendly. To make it vegan, ensure that your curry powder is free from animal-derived ingredients. Check the labels or create your vegan-friendly curry powder.


How long should I fry the mushrooms for the perfect texture?

Fry the mushrooms for a few minutes on each side, keeping a close eye on them. The exact frying time may vary based on the mushrooms’ size and the oil’s temperature. Fry them until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.

Can I make MUSHROO Pakora ahead of time and reheat them?

While MUSHROO Pakoras are best enjoyed fresh and hot, you can make them ahead of time and reheat them. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at a low temperature for a few minutes until they are warmed through and regain their crispiness.

Can I bake the MUSHROO Pakora instead of deep-frying them?

While deep-frying provides the traditional crispy texture, you can also try baking the pakoras for a healthier alternative. Preheat your oven to around 400°F (200°C) and bake them on a greased baking sheet for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.

How should I store any leftover MUSHROO Pakora?

Store any leftover MUSHROO Pakora in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be refrigerated for up to 2-3 days. Reheat them in a preheated oven or toaster oven to regain their crispiness.
