Ingredients
- 2 packs/400 grams button mushrooms (or any mushrooms of your choice)
- 1/2 cup/100 grams firm tofu (pressed & crumbled)
- 1 big onion
- 2-3 green chilies
- 1 inch piece of ginger
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- Handful of coriander leaves
- Red chilli powder to taste
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper powder
- 1 tsp roasted cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp dry mango powder
- 1 tsp chaat masala
- 1 tbsp oil
- 6-7 tbsp cornflour (called cornstarch outside India)
Instructions
- Wash and thinly chop mushrooms in chopper. If you don't have chopper, you can chop them with knife.
- Take them out in a bowl.
- Chop onion and add in separate bowl.
- Also chop coriander leaves, green chilies, ginger and garlic.
- Take them out in the same bowl carrying chopped onion. Keep aside.
- Take a pan and add chopped mushrooms in it.
- Put the heat on high and start stirring it.
- Mushrooms will release water. Keep cooking.
- When there remains very less water, bring the heat to low and stir.
- When water is completely evaporated in 10-12 minutes, transfer the mushrooms in a bowl and leave them to cool down completely.
- Add crumbled tofu and chopped onion & coriander mixture.
- Then add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, black pepper powder, garam masala, roasted cumin powder, dry mango powder, chaat masala and oil.
- Mix them well.
- Now start adding cornflour, little at a time.
- Form a soft but shapable dough. In making this dough, we used 6 tbsp cornflour.
- Place the dough in refrigerator for 15 minutes for easy handling.
- Using wet hands, wrap the dough around skewers giving it a cylindrical shape, like that of a seekh kebab.
- Put them in greased air fryer basket and apply oil on it. If you don't have airfryer, you can grill them in oven or even directly on gas stove over grill rack.
- Air fry @180°C for 10-12 minutes.
- Mushroom kebabs are ready.
- Enjoy.
Notes
- In place of tofu, you can use boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, soya chunks or any boiled lentils or legumes.
- If you don't have dry mango powder and/or chaat masala, you can use lemon juice.
- Use ginger garlic paste if you don't like them in bites.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water before using for 15 minutes atleast, otherwise they may catch fire while grilling.
