Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Spicy Squid Stuffed Mushrooms:
- For extra flavor, marinate the squid in a little ginger-garlic paste and lemon juice for 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili powder to your liking. You can also use a milder chili powder variety.
- Don't overcrowd the baking tray; this ensures even browning and cooking.
- For a crispier coating, you can use panko bread crumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
