Equipment

Ingredients

8 oz button mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garam masala (use store-bought or homemade garam masala)
¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
½ teaspoon Kashmiri chili powder (sub with paprika)
½ teaspoon salt (adjust as per taste)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon kasoori methi
¼ cup besan (chickpea flour)

Instructions

Season:

Wash and pat dry the mushrooms thoroughly, making sure there is no moisture. Cut them into thick slices.
In a large mixing bowl, combine together olive oil, garam masala powder, turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, salt, kasuri methi, and lemon juice. Give it a good mix.
Add the sliced mushrooms and mix well. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
Next, add the chickpea flour and mix well. Make sure the mushrooms are well coated.

Air Fry:

Preheat the air fryer to 360 F (180 C) for 2 minutes.
Lightly brush the air fryer basket with oil. Place the mushrooms in a single layer without overcrowding the basket.
Air fryer at 360 F for 8-10 minutes until they are cooked through and the outer edges begin to char slightly. Flip the basket once midway.
Serve hot.

Notes

I make sure the mushrooms are fresh and firm for this recipe. Also, I ensure that the mushrooms are evenly sliced to promote consistent cooking.

Preheating the air fryer for a few minutes before cooking is important as this promotes a crisp texture. Also, after preheating, I spray or brush the air fryer basket with oil to prevent them from sticking.

Arrange the mushrooms in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of the air fryer, cook in batches if necessary. For my air fryer, I usually do it in two batches for this recipe.
