Mushroom stuffed starters

Mushroom stuffed starters

Ingredients

Mushrooms 10-12 or more as per your need pull out the its tail or the end, so that you can gently scoop from the center to fill the stuffing, be gently while doing it.

For stuffing

Today I used, about ¼ cup peas cooked, fresh coriander leaves 1 small bunch, few mint leaves, ginger 1”, garlic pearls 3, green chilies 3-4. all these were ground without water with salt.

For batter

Rice flour or all purpose flr ( maida) 2 tbsp

Corn flour 2 tbsp

Salt & pepper pdr as needed.

Bread crumbs 1 cup to coat

Oil to fry

Carefully stuff the mushrooms with the filling, then prepare the batter, dip each one carefully in the batter, then roll in the breadcrumbs & deep fry in hot oil. While frying make sure that you put the filled end down.

Ps- in case you don’t have bread crumbs, no problem, just use semolina( sooji) that is what I used today !

Ps- in stead of my stuffing,  you may fry some finely chopped onion, tomatoes, carrots, capsicum with salt & spices as you like & use instead. The choice is yours, be innovative.

In case you are using more mushrooms or they’re big in size, then you may need more stuffing, so go by your requirements.

health tips

mushrooms are rich in proteins & unlike what many think, it is vegetarian. Only caution is never pluck mushrooms from the wild, as some are poisonous, best buy what is available from the market packed.
