Ingredients
  

For the Mushrooms:

  • 15 –20 medium chestnut mushrooms cleaned, stems intact
  • 4 tablespoons 30g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 50g panko breadcrumbs
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic granules
  • ½ teaspoon onion granules
  • 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ cup 60g chickpea flour (gram flour)
  • ½ cup 120ml unsweetened plant-based milk (e.g., almond, soy)
  • 2 cups 480ml neutral-flavored oil (e.g., sunflower, vegetable)

For the Dip:

  • ⅓ cup 80g vegan mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the Oil:

  • Pour oil into a heavy-bottomed saucepan, filling it to one-third of its capacity. Heat over medium heat until reaching 350°F (175°C).

Prepare Coating Stations:

  • Bowl 1: All-purpose flour.
  • Bowl 2: Whisk together chickpea flour and plant-based milk until smooth.
  • Bowl 3: Combine panko breadcrumbs, garlic granules, onion granules, mixed herbs, smoked paprika, and salt.

Coat the Mushrooms:

  • Pat mushrooms dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  • Dredge each mushroom in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the chickpea batter, allowing excess to drip off. Roll in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place on a plate.

Fry to Golden Perfection:

  • Test oil temperature by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle and rise immediately.
  • Fry mushrooms in batches of 3–4 for 2–3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until uniformly golden. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Drain and Keep Warm:

  • Transfer fried mushrooms to a wire rack or paper towel-lined tray to drain excess oil. Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing remaining batches.

Prepare the Dip:

  • In a small bowl, stir together vegan mayonnaise, chives, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve:

  • Arrange mushrooms on a serving platter. Garnish with additional chives and serve immediately with the dip.

Notes

Note: For optimal crispiness, serve immediately after frying.
