Mix in a bowl the marinade ingredients and coat the mushrooms evenly.
Leave to stand for 10 or more minutes.
In a separate bowl add all the dry ingredients and gradually add the water to form a batter.
Really mix it through with your hand. Let the mix stand for 5 minutes and then add the marinaded mushrooms to the batter and ensure they are fully coated.
Fry a few at a time placing them gently into the heated oil at 170C.
Fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown.
Remove with a slotted spoon and put them on a kitchen paper.
The first layer of the platter may be covered with kitchen paper to remove the excess oil
