NON FRIED CHILLI MUSHROOM

Few may not find the deep fried food good to consume but they need not to dishearten by seeing this deep fried version of chilli mushroom.

Though there’s no non-fried chilli mushroom traditionally, but you can always alter the process what suits to you the most.

Once you add ginger and when it turns slightly brown, next add the mushrooms.

Saute them for a minute and cover the pan with a lid.

Once mushrooms are half cooked, then add onion and bell pepper.

Thereafter the further process remains the same.

That’s so convenient, really. 

KNOW ABOUT FEW INGREDIENTS

MUSHROOMS

Most common variety used to make chilli Mushroom is button mushrooms and we too have used the same.

However you can use baby portabella mushrooms too.

Use the Mushrooms after washing, drying and cutting them into halves or quarters, depending upon their size.

RICE FLOUR

In a traditional chilli Mushroom recipe, only all purpose flour is used.

Alternatively you can use whole wheat flour also.

Choice is yours.

BELL PEPPERS

Known by the name Capsicum, this is a must Ingredient in this recipe.

Yes, don’t think of using all 3 colours if not easily available to you.

Green is very common and easily available variety of capsicum, so you can use that one solely.

RED CHILLI SAUCE

This recipe recieves spiciness through the chilli sauce. If you like to make it more or less spicy, add chilli sauce accordingly.

For a more spicier taste, you can add a dash of ghost chilli.

SESAME OIL

Sesame oil is part and parcel of Chinese cuisine, so try to make your chilli Mushroom in the said oil.

But in case you don’t have this oil, you can use any oil you use in your daily routine cooking.

If possible, sprinkle some sesame seeds on the top. This will help to accentuate the taste of the dish.

PRO TIPS

1. The consistency of batter for costing Mushrooms must be thick enough so that Mushrooms can hold them.
2. For an authentic taste, cook Mushroom chilli in sesame oil.
3. Use a wide and heavy bottomed pan or wok to saute the veggies. A narrow mouthed utensil will make the stirring uneasy which will lead to not so good results.
4.  Saute the veggies (bell pepper and onion) on high heat.
5. In no case, bell pepper and onion should loose their crunch.
6. Don’t miss to add the slurry (corn flour & water paste) at the end. It will give a nice glaze to the recipe.
