chilli mushroom recipe | chilli mushroom dry | mushroom chilli recipe with detailed photo and video recipe. a popular indo chinese starter recipe or a street food snack prepared with deep fried mushroom and chilli based sauce. it is almost similar to any indo chinese chilli recipe, prepared with button mushrooms. this particular chilli variation is a dry variant without any sauce and is served as starter or appetiser.
i have already posted the other popular chilli variants like gobi and paneer one but i was getting several requests for the mushroom one too. basically, with the chilli sauce, there isn’t as any major difference. but the batter prepared for chilli mushroom recipe coating is slightly different from its successors. generally mushroom is tender and moist inside and hence when deep fried it would release its moisture. hence the coating has to be firm and robust without any damages to it while deep frying. hence i have added more corn flour to the batter making it firm and stiff. further, these deep fried mushrooms taste great by itself and can be served as a snack.
the recipe itself is very simple, yet some tips, suggestion for a spicy chilli mushroom dry. firstly, i highly recommend using fresh and tender mushrooms for this recipe. it has to be moist and juicy even after deep frying. secondly, i have not added ajino moto which adds extra flavour and artificial taste to most indo chinese recipes. if you prefer then you are more than welcome to add it. lastly, this recipe is prepared as dry variant, but you can also prepare the same gravy variant. basically, you can double the quantity of corn starch with chilli sauce for more gravy version. it should taste ideal when served with fried rice or veg noodles.
