• 400 grams of lion’s mane mushroom

• 1 cup chickpea flour

• 1 cup water

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1/2 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp coriander

• 1/4 tsp cayenne

• 1/2 tsp garam masala

Step 1. Divide Mushroom

Pre-heat deep fryer to 350 degrees Celsius. Separate the lion’s mane mushroom into bite sized pieces.

Step 2. Prepare Batter

Thoroughly combine all dry ingredients. Spices may be substituted depending on personal taste.

Gradually add water until a wet batter is formed. The batter will thicken upon standing.

Step 3. Dip & Fry

Dip the pieces of lion’s mane one at a time allowing excess batter to drip into the bowl. If sufficiently hot the oil will bubble when the nugget is submerged.

Fry for 6 – 8 minutes until crisp and golden. 

Step 4. Serve & Enjoy

Serve with lashings of salt. Optionally, serve with tartar sauce and lemon wedges for faux fish and chips.
