1: Preparing the Mushroom Veggie Balls

Creating the Dough

Begin by soaking 1 cup of soya chunks in water for 1 hour. After soaking, make sure to squeeze out the excess water thoroughly.
Chop 3 medium-sized mushrooms finely, ensuring that you remove the back part of the mushrooms.
Grind the soaked soya chunks in a food processor until they are coarsely ground.
In a bowl, combine the ground soya chunks, finely chopped mushrooms (1/2 cup), 1 tsp of green chilli-ginger paste, 1 tsp of coriander powder, 1 tsp of chaat masala, 1/2 tsp of red chilli powder, 1/4 tsp of garam masala, 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, grated boiled potatoes (2), a handful of fresh coriander leaves, and 1 tsp of salt.
Mix these ingredients well and then add 3 tbsp of corn flour to bind the mixture. Ensure that everything is well incorporated.
Apply a little oil to your hands and knead the mixture well to create the dough. The oil will prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands and make the kneading process smoother.

2: Shaping and Frying the Mushroom Veggie Balls

Grease the chambers of an appam maker with a little oil and let it heat.
Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a round ball. Continue this process to shape all the veggie balls.
Once the oil in the appam maker is hot, place the veggie balls in it for frying.
Cover the appam maker and fry the balls on low heat for 3 minutes.
After 3 minutes, flip the veggie balls, cover them again, and fry for an additional 4 minutes.
Continue turning and frying the balls until they achieve a golden brown color on all sides.
Once they’re ready, remove the veggie balls from the appam maker.
Repeat this process until you have fried all the veggie balls.
Your mushroom veggie balls are now fried to perfection and ready to be enjoyed. Serve them with your favorite dip, or pair them with tea or coffee for a delightful snack.

3: Preparing the Mushroom Kofta Curry

Crafting the Curry

Start by heating 1 tbsp of oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a pan.
Once the oil and butter are hot, add 1 tsp of green chilli-ginger paste and lightly sauté it.
Add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and 1 tsp of coriander powder, and sauté the spices until they’re lightly roasted.
Next, add a paste made from 2 tomatoes, 2 green chilies, and a 1/2 inch piece of ginger. Reduce the heat to medium and fry this paste, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the spices.
Add 1 tsp of Kashmiri red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp of cumin powder, and 1 tsp of chaat masala to the mixture.
Introduce finely chopped coriander stalks and 3/4 tsp of salt into the mix, and combine everything thoroughly.
Pour 1 cup of water into the pan, stirring well.
Add 2 tbsp of tomato sauce to the mixture and incorporate it.
Now, gently add the mushroom veggie balls to the curry and let them soak in all the flavorful goodness.
Your Mushroom Kofta Curry is now ready to be served.
