Method

• Clean mushrooms and cut into bite size pieces.
• Wash mushrooms in boiling water with little turmeric powder in it for 3 minutes. Drain out the water and keep it aside.
• Break the egg and separate the egg white from the yolk. We will use the egg white for this recipe.
• In a bowl take maida, cornflour and salt. Mix well. Now add the egg white and little water so as to make a sightly thick consistency batter.
• Into this batter add the mushrooms and mix well so that each one of them is coated nicely with the batter.
• Deep fry the mushrooms in hot oil till cooked and golden brown colour.
• Once it is done, transfer it into a tissue paper. Keep this aside.
• Heat little oil in a non stick pan and add onion. Add salt and when it is translucent, add ginger garlic paste and green chillies.
• After sometime, add the fried mushrooms and mix well.
• Now add the vinegar, soy sauce and garam masala. Mix well and let it cook for sometime.
• Now add tomato ketchup and mix nicely and let it cook for approximately 5 minutes.
• Take it off from heat and garnish it with chopped spring onion.
• Serve it hot as a starter. Tastes really great.

Normally, chinese dishes are garnished with spring onion. If you don't have spring onion, you can use coriander leaves. In either ways, the dish tastes amazing.
