During the rainy season in Goa, we get fresh mushrooms from the forest. Those are the tastiest mushrooms I have ever had. People who stay in the forest get those mushrooms for us. They work at our backyard and farmhouse. Sometimes we buy the forest mushrooms from the local market. These are sold at exorbitantly high rate like Rs.10/- per piece and are in demand. But still we love to make Rawa Fried Mushrooms.
My mom prepares a variety of dishes with those mushrooms. My dad being a pure vegetarian loves those forest mushrooms. He would not dare to eat the button mushrooms available in packets. He just does not like these cultured button mushrooms. But he loves those original forest mushrooms.
1 packet / 10 – 12 button mushrooms
1 tbsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tbsp salt
1 tbsp oilFor the coating:
1 cup rava /sooji / semolina
1/4 cup rice flour
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1/4 tsp chili powder
Pinch of salt
Procedure:
Wash the mushrooms and pat dry.
Cut them into halves lengthwise including the stem.
If the mushroom is big, then make 4 pieces.
Sprinkle 1 tbsp water on the mushrooms and then apply salt, turmeric and chili powder and keep aside for 15 Min’s.
Mix the ingredients for coating on a flat plate i.e. rice flour, rava, pinch of salt, 1/4 tsp each of turmeric powder and chili powder.
Serve it as a starter or as a side dish with rice.
