Prepare the Gravy

Add fried cubes of paneer or tofu along with the mushrooms for a more substantial dish.
This recipe is naturally vegetarian. To make it vegan, ensure that the soy sauce, chili sauce, and ketchup used are certified vegan and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients.

Chilli Mushroom Gravy can be part of a balanced diet in moderation. It contains nutritious ingredients like mushrooms and bell peppers. However, because the mushrooms are deep-fried and the sauces contain high levels of sodium and sugar, it is best enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a daily meal.
One serving (approximately 1 cup or 260g) of Chilli Mushroom Gravy contains around 300-380 calories. The exact number can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying and the specific brands of sauces used.
To reduce the oil content, you can pan-fry, air-fry, or bake the battered mushrooms instead of deep-frying them. Sauté the mushrooms in 1-2 tablespoons of oil until golden brown before adding them to the gravy.
Yes, you can make a gluten-free version. Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or rice flour. Also, ensure you use tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be aware that the mushrooms will lose their crispiness. Reheat in a pan over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
