Spicy mini mushroom patties

Spicy mini mushroom patties (makes 20 depending on size you make them)

Ingredients:

one small punnet of button mushrooms
1 beaten egg
breadcrumbs, i made from from mixing ground almonds with ground hazelnuts
2 tsps biryani spice mix
3 tsps tikka masala spice mix

Method:

1. blitz the mushrooms until mush

2. add the spices to the mushrooms and mix well

3. put the beaten egg into a bowl and place the breadcrumbs onto a plate

3. empty the mushroom and spice mixture into a bowl

4. using 2 teaspoons shape the spicy mushroom mixture into a the shape of the teaspoon

5. dip this into the egg then into the breadcrumb mix and create a pattie shape then place onto a plate

6. when all the spicy mushroom mixture has been used up it is time to fry the patties

7. i used some oil in a small frying pan along with butter, you don't need a big amount but enough oil to cover the frying pan and about 1oz - 2oz of butter

8. when the oil and butter begin to sizzle, carefully add the patties do not add to many to the pan, leave about 1/3 of the pan empty, this will ensure that you have enough space to turn them over without too much crumbling

9. turn them over and when they are golden brown on both sides transfer out of the pan into a bowl that has some kitchen roll in the bottom of it

10. repeat until all the patties have been cooked.

can be eaten hot or cold
