Ingredients
Mushroom Preparation
- 1 lb mushrooms Fresh mushrooms, cleaned and stems removed.
Batter Ingredients
- 1.5 cups flour (use gf if needed), divided 1/2 cup for coating mushrooms, 1 cup for batter.
- 1 cup coconut milk Can substitute with regular milk if needed.
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 pinch salt and pepper To taste.
Coating and Frying
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (use gf if needed)

Instructions
Preparation
- Clean the mushrooms and remove stems with a sharp knife. Rub them dry using a cloth or paper towel.
- In a large bowl, place 1/2 cup of flour and add the mushrooms. Mix until fully coated.
- In another bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour, garlic powder, onion powder, coconut milk, and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until it forms a soft batter.
- Add the coated mushrooms into the batter and make sure they are well coated.
- Place panko breadcrumbs in a bowl and shake the mushrooms in until fully covered.
Frying
- Heat oil in a small pot. Add about 6 mushrooms (depending on the size of the pot) into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes.
- Serve hot on plates or in bowls immediately after frying.
Notes
Serve immediately to prevent them from getting soggy. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Can be frozen uncooked and fried from frozen later.
