Mushroom patties vegan
A quick and easy patty made with mushroom and potato. They are perfect and hold their shape very well. It is easily customizable for a low carb or a keto diet as well. I am using vegan bread crumbs for binding the patties. For Keto or Low carb version, you may use nuts powder. They work well and I have tried them as well. Air fryer mushroom patties come very well with less oil.
Ingredients
Mushroom - I am using Button Mushrooms for the patties. You may also try cremini mushrooms took. Wash and pat dry the mushroom to remove the dirt particles and moisture and then use.
Potato - Use boiled and mashed potato. You can cook them on the stovetop or in Instant Pot.
Onion - use red or white onions.
Ginger- Adds a yummy flavor to the dish.
Spice Powders - Just the basic spice powders. I am using red chili powder, Garam Masala, Turmeric powder, and salt for taste.
Cilantro - Adds flavor to the patties.
Bread Crumbs - Gives a nice crunch to the patties and it helps in holding the shape of the patties.
Corn flour - Helps in binding the patties. Add 1 tbsp more if needed.
Cooking oil - Use as needed to brush the patties if cooking in an airfryer. Or if cooking in a skillet use 2 tbsp of oil.

Appetizer: If serving as a snack or appetizer you can serve them along with any dipping sauce. It goes well with Cilantro Chutney, Mayonaise, Sour cream, or even avocado cilantro sauce.
Lunch: For lunch, we can serve them alongside some salad. Or you can use some veggie sticks. Carrot, Cucumber goes perfect.
Burger: If making them for burgers you can shape them as wide patties. Stuff them between a burger bun along with lettuce, onions, tomato, and cheese if you prefer.
Storing Options
Always store the leftovers in the fridge for longer shelf life.
If I am going to finish off the patties within a week. I just shape the patties. Freeze them in a tray for 30 mins. Remove the patties from the tray and then place each patty between layers of parchment paper. Store them in air-tight containers or ziplock bags.
If storing for a longer time. I prefer freezing the patty. Cook the patties in the air fryer for 5 mins. or in a skillet for 2 mins o each side. and then let them cool completely. Then store them in layers of parchment paper in zip locks or air tight containers as before.
Just before using them, you may thaw the patties for 30 mins and then cook and enjoy.

Can I use an egg instead of breadcrumbs and cornflour?
sharmila kingsly
Definitely, egg works well for binding the patties and hold them together without falling apart. Make sure your patties are dry without moisture. Else you may need more flour for binding them.
