Ingredients

• 200 grams Button mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Cornflour
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 4 tablespoons Oil
• 2 tablespoons Garlic (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger (finely chopped)
• 2 pieces Green chilies (slit)
• 1 medium Onion (quartered and layers separated)
• 1 medium Capsicum (sliced)
• 2 tablespoons Tomato ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon Vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Spring onions (chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper powder

Directions

Step 1

Clean the button mushrooms thoroughly and cut them into halves or quarters if large. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine cornflour, all-purpose flour, red chili powder, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and water to make a semi-thick batter. Ensure a smooth consistency.

Step 3

Dip the mushrooms into the batter, coating them evenly.

Step 4

Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Fry the coated mushrooms in batches until golden and crisp. Remove them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 5

In a separate pan or wok, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic, ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the onion layers and capsicum slices to the wok. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to retain their crunch.

Step 7

Lower the heat and mix in soy sauce, tomato ketchup, chili sauce, vinegar, 0.25 teaspoon salt, and black pepper powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

Step 8

Add 2 tablespoons of water (optional) if the mixture appears too dry, and cook for another minute.

Step 9

Gently fold in the fried mushrooms, ensuring they are coated well with the sauce.

Step 10

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve hot as a starter or alongside fried rice or noodles.
