Method
Mushroom Preparation
- 1
Clean the Mushrooms
Gently clean the mushrooms with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Avoid rinsing them under water as they can absorb moisture.
- 2
Batter Preparation
- 3
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until evenly combined.

Add Water
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Frying the Mushrooms
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.
- 6
Coat the Mushrooms
Dip each seasoned mushroom into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the mushrooms with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately, garnished with additional salt if desired.
