Mushroom - 65

Mushrooms drenched in a spicy, flavour-loaded batter deep-fried to get the perfect crisp makes a wonderful feast to the eyes and to the tummies. Kids and adults love it alike. My kids are damn crazy about it. Its always gone before I sit down to eat. And even if by chance if there are a couple for me to try I would always have 2 pairs of loving eyes glancing at me or winking at me asking me for those. So finally I end up having nothing if I dont serve myself in the kitchen before the snacks are served to the family :)

Quick and easy to make, it can made in minutes even if you have unexpected last minute visitors. Everyone will love them to the core

• Use a little orange food colour for a bright display. I used a small pinch

• Pour a little water into the bowl. Whisk it together to make a thick batter with no lumps

• Drench the sliced mushrooms in batter

• Heat oil in a kadai to medium

• Slide in battered mushroom pieces into hot oil and fry till golden and cooked

• Once done remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil
