Instructions
-
Wash the mushrooms very thoroughly to remove any dirt and pat them dry. Take out the stems, creating a hole in the center where we can stuff our filling. Put them to the side.
-
For the filling, blend together paneer, half of the parmesan cheese, milk, and hot sauce. Fill this mixture into a piping bag.
-
Place the mushrooms cavity side up on a baking sheet and pipe them with the filling. Top them off with the rest of the cheese and brush them with oil.
-
Bake your mushrooms at 350 F / 180°C for 10 minutes.
-
While your mushrooms are baking, in a pan, heat up oil and add in your celery. Sauté it for a few minutes and then add in your ginger, green chili and garlic paste.
-
Then, add in the onions, bell peppers, and all of the sauces. Mix it together.
-
Toss in the mushrooms and mix until they are evenly coated in the sauce. Sauté it for 2-3 minutes.
-
Finish the mushrooms with cashews and green onions. Then, garnish them with even more green onions and sesame seeds. Your Stuffed Chili Mushrooms are ready, enjoy!
