Mushroom Manchurian Recipe – Just like any other dry manchurian recipes, here crispy fried mushrooms are coated with thick, sweet, sour, spicy indo-chinese sauce.

Since this is mushroom manchurian dry recipe, this is usually served as a starter or snack. But I have seen one of my friends who likes to have it on side with noodles or rice. So it is personal preference.

Mushrooms are my favorite and so this manchurian is. If you mushroom lover like me, I am sure you will like this.

I have already mentioned in gobi manchurian dry recipe that to maintain their crispy texture, you need to let the sauce cool down for some time (approx 2 minutes). Then add fried mushrooms or gobi. So it stays crispy for sometime. But eventually it will get soggy. So it should be served right away.

Step By Step Photo Instructions:

1) To make batter, take all purpose flour, corn flour, salt, pepper, ginger paste and garlic paste in a bowl.

2) Add water and make smooth, lump free batter.

3) Now heat the oil on medium heat for deep frying. Once oil is hot, take mushroom pieces and dip, coat them one by one and add into the hot oil.

4) Fry them till they are golden brown and crispy from all sides. Keep moving them in between for even browning. While frying, as mushrooms get cooked, they leave their own water. So in the oil you get more bubbly sound during frying. That is normal.

6) Keep them on paper towel lined plate and repeat the same frying for rest.
