Method
Chop the mushroom into 4 pieces after rinsing them properly.
Take a mixing bowl with all purpose flour, corn flour and rice flour. Add red chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, pepper powder, cumin powder and turmeric powder. Also add ginger garlic paste and salt for taste. Add water slowly and make a thick batter.
Take a kadai with oil and heat it. The mushroom has to be added only just before frying as it leaves water. Dip the mushroom in the batter and deep fry it. Do not overcrowd the kadai. Once one side is golden brown, flip it over. Once both sides are fried, remove it from heat. Keep it in tissue paper to absorb the oil.
Once all the mushrooms are fried, fry the bunch of curry leaves.
Garnish the mushroom 65 with fried curry leaves, coriander leaves and chopped onions. (Coriander leaves and chopped onions are optional)
