Ingredients

• 250 grams Button mushrooms
• 4 tablespoons Cornflour
• 2 tablespoons Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 120 milliliters Water
• 1 as required Olive oil spray
• 1 medium, sliced Red bell pepper
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 sliced Fresh red chilies
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoons Lime juice
• 2 sliced Green onions
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Coriander leaves

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth and cut them into halves if they are too big.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cornflour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Slowly add water to the dry ingredients while whisking until a smooth batter forms with no lumps.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and lightly spray it with olive oil.

Step 5

Dip each mushroom in the batter, allow the excess to drip off, and place them in the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 6

Cook the mushrooms for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy. Add more olive oil spray as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the mushrooms to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 8

In the same pan, add the sliced red bell pepper, minced garlic, and sliced red chilies. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the peppers are slightly softened.

Step 9

Add the soy sauce, honey, and lime juice to the pan, mixing everything thoroughly.

Step 10

Return the crispy mushrooms to the pan and toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.

Step 11

Garnish with green onions and chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve hot as an appetizer or a side dish.
