7. Mushroom 65 Recipe
Mushroom 65 with illustrated instructions. A great starting snack that goes well with any Indian main dish is the crispy and flavorful mushroom 65. The mushroom 65 dish is one of several I cook using mushrooms that everyone at home enjoys.
Ingredients of Mushroom 65 Recipe
For Mushroom 65 Batter
- ½ cup Curd
- 1 tablespoon Ginger Garlic Paste
- 2 teaspoons kashmiri red chilli powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander Powder (ground coriander)
- 1 teaspoon Garam Masala
- 8 to 10 curry leaves – finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons corn flour (corn starch)
- 4 tablespoons whole wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Rice Flour
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- salt as required
Other Ingredients
- 200 grams white button mushrooms
- oil for deep frying as required
- spring onion greens or chopped coriander leaves for garnish
HOW TO MAKE IT
Chopping Mushrooms
- After rinsing or wiping the mushroom, cut it in half.
- Throw away some of the soggy base stalk as well. You can slice the mushrooms into four pieces if they are huge. Set apart.
Making Marination For Mushroom 65
- Take 1/2 cup fresh curd and smooth it out in a basin.
- Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste after that.
- Add one teaspoon each of the following: cumin powder, garam masala powder, two teaspoons of deghi mirch (or kashmiri red chilli powder), and two teaspoons of coriander powder. Add 1 teaspoon if using any other red chilli powder.
- Add 8 to 10 finely chopped curry leaves.
- Next include 2 tablespoons of rice flour, 4 tablespoons of whole wheat flour, and 2 tablespoons of corn flour (corn starch).
- Depending on taste, salt the food. Add 12 teaspoon of lemon juice as well.
- Mix thoroughly.
- Heat the oil for deep frying in a skillet or kadai before adding the mushrooms because if you wait too long, the mushrooms lose a lot of water and the batter thins out. Hence, you may begin frying the mushrooms as soon as you’ve combined them.
- the mushrooms are added. Mix the mushrooms gently without breaking them. Thick batter is required. If the batter is thin, it will fall while frying since cooking releases moisture from the mushrooms.
- Be sure the batter is thick, then. If extra rice flour or whole wheat flour is needed to thicken the batter, do so.
Making Mushroom 65
- Let the oil to reach a medium heat. Try a mushroom with batter on it. The oil is ready for frying if it rises consistently and gradually.
- As soon as the batter is applied to the mushrooms, carefully drop them into the heated oil.
- By doing so, you may add more batter-coated mushroom pieces to the boiling oil while still taking into account the kadai’s capacity. Avoid overcrowding.
- Turn over each mushroom once one side is browned and crisp. The shiitake mushrooms must become golden. The coating cracks when you turn them over too soon. So allow them to spin once they are crisp and golden.
- Furthermore, fry the second side until crisp and brown. For even cooking, turn the food over a few more times.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried mushrooms while draining the excess oil. similarly fry the remaining mushrooms.
- Put mushrooms on paper towels for the kitchen.
- Add coriander leaves or spring onion greens as a garnish for fried mushrooms.
8. Crispy Paneer 65 Recipe
This Paneer 65 dish is spicily delicious and comes from Hyderabadi food. When batter-coated and fried paneer cubes are tossed in a delicious spicy combination of onions, herbs, and spices, the result is a crispy rendition.
Ingredients of Crispy Paneer 65 Recipe
Marination
- 200 grams Paneer (Indian cottage cheese)
- 3 tablespoon Rice Flour
- 1 tablespoon gram flour (besan)
- 2 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon green chili paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- ½ teaspoon red chili powder or kashmiri red chili powder or paprika or cayenne pepper
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon Garam Masala
- ¼ teaspoon lemon juice or add as required
- 4 tablespoons water
- 5 tablespoons oil – for frying
- salt as required
For Tempering
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped onions
- 2 to 3 green chilies – sliced diagonally
- ½ teaspoon finely chopped ginger
- ½ teaspoon finely chopped garlic
- 6 to 7 curry leaves
- 1 to 2 dry red chilies – halved or broken and seeds removed
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds – optional
- ¼ teaspoon sugar or add as per taste – optional
- 2 to 3 pinches salt or add as needed
- 2 teaspoons oil
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves (cilantro) – for garnish
HOW TO MAKE IT
Marination
- Place cornflour, gramme flour, and rice flour in a mixing basin.
- Add the green chilli paste, garlic paste, ginger paste, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, and lemon juice to the list of spices and herbs. When needed, add salt as well.
- Pour in 4 teaspoons of water. Stir until a paste is smooth. Also, you might use a few drops of natural colour. Orange natural colour extract is what I used.
- Put the paneer cubes in.
- Mix the paneer cubes gently into the batter. For around 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature, cover and let the food marinade.
Frying Paneer
- In a pan, heat 5 tablespoons of oil. The oil should be medium-hot. Add the paneer cubes to the heated oil after uniformly coating them with the batter.
- The paneer cubes should be separated from one another to prevent sticking.
- Flip the base over and finish cooking the other side.
- All of the paneer cubes should be flipped over a few times and cooked until the outsides are crisp and brown. Don’t overfry the paneer cubes since they will get thick.
- You can choose to deep fry the batter-coated paneer cubes if you’d like.
- To drain excess oil, place the cooked paneer cubes on kitchen paper towels.
Making Paneer 65
- 2 teaspoons of oil should be heated in the same pan over low heat.
- However keep in mind that you don’t need to add these 2 tablespoons of oil if there is any leftover from when you fried the paneer.
- Next, add the mustard seeds and watch them pop.
- Add chopped ginger, chopped garlic, dried red chilies, chopped green chilies, and curry leaves once the mustard seeds begin to pop. Strongly combine and stir.
- Add 3 tablespoons of finely chopped onions next. The onions should be stirred and sautéed until tender and transparent.
- Add 14 teaspoon sugar and salt. If you like, you can avoid sugar. I increased the sugar since it makes the paneer dish taste better.
- Mix well by stirring. Add the cubes of cooked paneer.
- Together with the remaining ingredients in the sauté, combine and toss the paneer cubes. Verify the flavour and, if necessary, add additional salt or green chilies. Disconnect the heat.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves last. Mix and stir.
- As an appetiser, serve paneer 65 hot with some roti, naan, or bread with a chutney or dipping sauce.

- Mix thoroughly after adding the curd (yoghurt).
- Put a tight-fitting cover on the pan.
- Cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Open the pan later. Add a few splashes of warm yakhni or broth to the rice if the combination appears dry and the rice doesn’t seem to be fully cooked. Stir gently using a fork. Cook for a further 5 minutes while securely covered.
