Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh Lion's Mane mushrooms
- Cooking Oil
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 3 Tbsp water
- 1/2 Tbsp cumin seeds
- 1 Tbsp cumin powder plus extra for topping
- 1 Tbsp chili powder plus extra for topping
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt plus extra for topping
- 1/2 tsp mushroom seasoning
Directions
Gently clean mushrooms with a brush to remove any grains.
Use your hands to tear mushrooms into larger than bite-sized pieces.
Fill a large pot with water (about 3 litres) and bring it to a boil.
Add mushrooms and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly tender.
Meanwhile, whisk together flour and water into a thin paste, set aside as the batter.
Rub mushrooms with cumin seeds, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and mushroom seasoning until all mushrooms are coated.
Add the batter and sesame seeds, then use your fingers to coat the mushrooms until well combined.
Thread a few pieces of mushrooms (about 4) onto the skewer. Repeat until all mushrooms are done.
Set a large shallow pan over medium-low heat. Cover the bottom with a thin layer of oil. Carefully lower the skewer onto the hot oil.
Cook until all sides turn golden brown and a thin crust forms, turning occasionally. Please make sure to maintain a light sizzle over medium-low heat and fully cook through the mushrooms.
To prepare another spice mix for topping, combine 1 Tbsp of cumin powder and chili powder with 1/4 tsp of salt.
