Ingredients
  

  • 10-12 button mushrooms approx. 227g

FOR THE FLOUR SLURRY

  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup milk

FOR THE BREADCRUMB MIXTURE

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper powder
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 2-3 tbsp all purpose flour
  • little oil for spraying

Instructions
 

PREPARE THE MUSHROOMS

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Wipe the mushrooms with a wet cloth. Make sure they are not wet at all.
  • Trim the end of the stem. Don't remove the stems.
  • If the mushrooms are too big, cut them into halves or quarters.

PREPARE THE BREADCRUMB MIXTURE

  • Mix breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, herbs, paprika, garlic and onion powders together in a bowl.
  • Also add red chilli powder if you are using any.

PREPARE THE FLOUR SLURRY

  • Add all purpose flour, rice flour and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Add the milk. Add little at a time to make a smooth slurry.
  • Use a whisk or a spoon, whichever you prefer. The slurry should not be too thick or too thin.
  • The amount of milk required will depend on how much the flours absorb.
  • It should coat the back of the spoon smoothly.
  • For a vegan version replace the milk with water or vegetable stock.

COATING THE MUSHROOMS

  • Add the 2-3 tbsp flour to a small bowl.
  • Coat the mushroom in the dry flour.
  • Then coat it with the slurry.
  • Finally, coat it well with the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Repeat the above process till all the mushrooms are used up.
  • If the slurry becomes too thick, add a little water and mix.
  • Arrange the breaded mushrooms on the prepared baking tray.
  • If you want to spray some oil over the breaded mushrooms.

BAKE THE BREADED MUSHROOMS

  • Bake the breaded mushrooms in the preheated oven (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or till they appear light golden brown in colour.
  • Serve them hot with flavoured mayonnaise, tartar sauce, seasoned sour cream or tomato chutney.

Notes

  • Make the breadcrumbs at home. It's so easy. Take 3 - 4 slices of brown or white bread. Toast them in the preheated oven at 150°C for 25-30 minutes. When the toasted slices cool down, process them in a food processor to a fine texture.
  • Store left breadcrumbs in a tight container.
  • Add any spices or herbs of your preference.
  • I left the stem as it becomes easier to dip them in flour slurry and breadcrumbs.
  • Can use an egg instead of the flour slurry. Follow the same process but whisk the egg lightly. Add some salt.
  • Add powdered parmesan for added flavour.
