Crispy Mushroom Fry- A delicious batter coated fried vegan Mushroom Nugget
Crispy Mushroom fry is a delicious and easy to make snack. You can batter coat them and keep refrigerated and deep fry when ever you want to serve.
This is a very easy to follow simple recipe , dip the mushrooms in the batter and again roll in some crumbs for the crunchy texture and then deep fry them to a nice golden colour. Instead of deep frying you can also bake or air fry them, choice is your .
For making these crispy mushrooms I have used button mushroom but you can also use oyster mushroom or maitake mushrooms for making this. I made thick slices of mushroom as they are quite big in size but if your mushrooms are small then just make into 2 or can use them whole .
The dipping batter is made with refined flour and some corn flour. Some spices are added for flavor- chili powder, pepper powder, salt, oregano, lemon juice, ginger chili paste are added in the batter. The slices are first rolled in dry flour and then they are dipped in the medium thick batter.
For the outer crust I have mixed dried bread crumbs with coarsely crushed corn flakes which gave a very nice crunch and texture. If you don’t have cornflakes then crush thick poha or just use bread crumbs or use panko crumbs.
These crispy mushroom nuggets are best enjoyed hot with ketchup or any tangy dip of your choice.
