Preparing the Mushroom Bean Falafel

To prepare the Mushroom Bean Falafel, begin by finely chopping the mushrooms and onions. Soak kidney beans overnight and cook them in a pressure cooker until they are tender, usually for about 7-8 whistles. Next, sauté the mushrooms in oil until they turn golden brown, then add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in ginger-garlic paste, cumin powder, salt, and pepper. In a mixing bowl, combine crumbled paneer, mashed kidney beans, the sautéed mushroom-onion mixture, breadcrumbs, and chopped coriander. Shape this mixture into tight balls and air fry them at 200°C for 20 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Making the Orange Salsa

For the Orange Salsa, finely chop the onions and tomatoes. In a bowl, mix the onions and tomatoes with lime juice, orange juice, salt, pepper, and a touch of orange zest to create a tangy salsa.

Creating the Green Chilli Garlic Dip

To make the Green Chilli Garlic Dip, combine hung curd, fresh cream, garlic-chilli paste, salt, and pepper in a bowl, stirring until smooth.

Assembling the Mushroom Bean Falafel Roll

For the final assembly, spread the green chilli garlic dip evenly on a roti. Place the falafels on the roti and gently press them down. Add a generous serving of the orange salsa on top of the falafels. Roll up the roti, and your delicious Mushroom Bean Falafel roll is ready to be enjoyed!
