Repeat the same process as we are double coating the mushrooms so that while frying the cheese in the stuffing doesn't ooze out <br /> <br />To fry the mushrooms: <br /> - Make sure the oil which you are going to use to fry the mushrooms is very hot <br />- Fry the stuffed mushrooms until they are golden brown in color. <br />- Take them out in an absorbent paper to let go off the extra oil. <br /> <br />For garnish: <br />- In a bowl, take some mayonnaise, tomato ketchup and salt and mix them well. <br />- In a plate, spread the above mixture, along with barbecue sauce and mustard. <br />- Cut the fried mushroom into half and place them on the sauce. <br /> <br />Host: Shantanu Gupte <br />Director: Neha Sarkar <br />Camera: Kawaldeep Singh Jangwal, Manjeet Kataria <br />Editing: Pratik Jain, Ravi Verma <br />Creative Head: Kavya Krishnaswamy <br />Producer: Rajjat A.
