Tandoori Mushroom Tikka. This is the most unique and delicious mushroom tikka appetizer. In addition, this can easily be converted into a complete meal by serving it with naan or pita bread, salad, and some chutney.
Spring is not here yet, but I am craving light meals already. After a rushed Saturday morning with Piano Federation, we were only able to go grocery shopping in the early afternoon. By the time we were done with everything, both of us were tired. Then, I saw some beautiful button mushrooms that were looking for my attention. Hence, I marinated the mushrooms, thinking about grilled mushroom tikka. We love to make all types of grilled tikka/baked tikka. Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower is my favourite. If you like cheese and broccoli then you should try Cheesy Malai Broccoli. It’s just amazing and really delicious. For paneer lovers I have Restaurant Style Paneer Tikka. You will love these appetizers/snacks/main meals. These recipes are just perfect for entertaining as well for easy grilling on summer days.
What Type of Mushrooms Can Be Used for Tandoori Mushrooms?
You don’t need any mushrooms with an overpowering and strong flavor for tandoori mushrooms. Personally, I prefer using button mushrooms but Baby Bella can be used as well.
What Ingredients Do You Need for Making Tandoori Mushrooms?
Mushroom- Button mushrooms and Baby Bella mushrooms will be best for this. Yoghurt- I have used plain greek yogurt for marination. However, you can use regular hung yogurt for it as well. Just hang the yogurt in a cheesecloth for 30 minutes to one hour at least (the longer, the better). For a vegan alternative, use almond yogurt or coconut yogurt, depending on your taste. Ginger Garlic Paste- Grind an equal amount of ginger and garlic to make a fine paste. You can use leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days. Remember to use an airtight container for that. Chickpea Flour /Gram flour helps stick the spices and yogurt marinade. Turmeric powder Salt Coriander Powder Garam Masala Powder Red Chili Powder Lemon/Lime Juice Kasoori Methi/Dry Fenugreek Powder Oil
What Can Be Served With Tandoori Mushrooms?
