I thought of trying something different with Mushroom like appetizer. I got this idea of stuffed mushroom when I was going through the weekly ad from a local store,they had made some stuffing in mushroom with bacon and cheese which gave me a good idea. Being a Vegetarian, I thought of substituting the filling with our own PANEER.I just tried it with few mushrooms as I wasn't sure about the taste.But how would it go wrong with paneer as stuffing? It turned out to be a perfect appetizer. It tastes too good except for one reason, its more caloric.
Ingredients:
10 Mushrooms
1 Cup grated paneer
1 Medium size Onion finely chopped
3 Green chillies
1/4 Cup finely chopped Cilantro
1 tsp Garam Masala
1 tsp Chat Masala
1 tsp Amchur/ Dry Mango powder
Salt as required
Oil for frying
Method:
1. Wash the mushrooms and peel off the outer layer. Remove the stalk from the mushroom and clean the inner portion(It should look like a bowl).
2. In a plate or bowl add the grated paneer,onions,green chillies,cilantro,garam masala,chat masala,amchur powder and salt. Give them a gentle mix. Try not to give more pressure when you mix as the paneer will loose its texture.
3. Meanwhile heat oil in a pan, try to maintain the heat in medium till you fry the mushrooms completely.
4. Take a spoon of the paneer mixture and stuff them into the mushroom.Try to fill the stuffing as much as possible. Do this for all the mushrooms.
5. Place the stuffed mushroom gently in oil so as to avoid the stuffing from spilling into the oil.
6. Fry them till the mushroom turns crispy or golden brown color.
7. Drain the excess oil in a paper towel and enjoy your stuffed mushroom with sauce.
Looks yummy... shall try this out soon! :)
