• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 small onion, chopped

directions

1. Place the gram flour, salt, baking powder, cumin and chilli in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the water, mixing well to for a smooth batter.
2. Add the garlic and onion to the batter and mix inches Leave the mixture to stand for ten mins while you wipe and trim your mushrooms.
3. mix the mushrooms into the batter and stir to coat.

Great! We halved the recipe for the 2 of us & we had a small pan & big mushies, so we halved them. A quick, easy side/ starter is just what we needed...thanks! :)
