How to make mushroom manchurian
1: first take all the ingredients for making the batter in a bowl.
Ingredients for the batter are – ½ cup all-purpose flour, 3 tbsp cornflour, 1 tsp ginger garlic paste, ½ tsp black pepper powder or freshly crushed black pepper, 1 tsp soya sauce and salt & sugar as required
2: add ⅓ cup water and make a smooth batter. Not too thick nor too thin.
3: rinse, wipe and halve the mushrooms (200-250 gms button mushrooms).
4: dip the mushroom in the batter.
5: heat oil for shallow frying or deep frying. Once the oil is moderately hot, then deep or shallow fry the mushrooms.
6: once the mushrooms are golden browned, remove and keep them aside.

7: heat oil in another pan or remove the extra oil from the pan in which we fried the mushrooms. Add spring onions and stir fry them for a minute.
8: add 2-3 chopped green chilies, 1 tsp finely chopped celery, 2 tsp garlic, 2 tsp ginger and some of the spring onion greens. Stir fry for a minute.
9: add bell pepper/capsicum (1 medium-size green or yellow bell pepper, sliced, diced or chopped).
I only had yellow bell pepper instead of green bell pepper. Making the best use of what I had this day 🙂
10: stir fry till the capsicum gets cooked a little but still retains its crunchiness.
11: finally add salt, sugar, 1 tbsp soy sauce and ½ tsp black pepper powder or crushed black pepper.
12: stir fry and mix well.
13: add fried mushrooms.
14: stir fry and mix well so that the sauce coats the mushrooms.
15: remove and Serve dry mushroom manchurian hot garnished with some spring onion greens and/or celery. It will go well with schezwan fried rice or corn fried rice or veg fried rice. Enjoy 🙂

Thanks a lot and glad to know.
Hi
Thank you for your wonderful receipes. I have tried many and all turned out really well.
I had a question for you.
What is the difference between chilli and manchurian? Both recipes look similar.
TIA
Thank you. In manchurian tomato ketchup is added which is not added in a chilli recipe.
I made this today. I used oyster mushrooms which I just saluted with the Ingrients per your recipe without the maida and corn starch instead of deep frying. I’m not a big fan of deep frying or maida and corn starch. The rest of the recipe was followed to the letter. Had it with angel hair pasta. Was delicious. Thank you
Welcome Madhav. Glad to know your variation. Thanks for your positive feedback.
