Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth or wash gently, then pat dry. Cut them into halves or quarters depending on the size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking powder, chilli powder, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat to approximately 180°C (350°F).
Dip the mushroom pieces into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated, then carefully place them into the hot oil.
Fry the mushrooms in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan, for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Remove the mushrooms from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Once all the mushrooms are fried, thinly slice the fresh green chili.
Serve the crispy mushrooms on a platter, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves and sliced green chili for an extra kick.
