Ingredients

  • 6 large white button mushrooms

  • 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 2 tablespoons oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup corn meal or panko bread crumbs

How To Make crispy mushroom fries

  • Step 1
    Clean mushrooms with clean cloth or paper towel. Slice them about 1 1/2" thick. (Do not wash mushrooms. Washing makes them soggy and looses it's flavor.)
  • Step 2
    In a wide bowl, add sliced mushroom and sprinkle salt & pepper and mix well. Let stand for 15 minutes. (This helps the mushroom absorb all the salt and releases the water naturally.
  • Step 3
    Discard the excess water. Add red chili powder, corriander-cummin, and mix well. Toss lightly. Let stand again for another 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Heat your cast iron griddle or a non-stick pan. Drizzle 2tsp. oil to coat the bottom on the pan.
  • Step 5
    Coat generously, all the mushrooms with panko breading or corn meal. Fry on a medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. (Over-frying will make the mushroom get rubbery and will loose it's texture.) A great side dish. ENJOY!
