Mushroom Tikka recipe
Mushroom Tikka is a popular Indian dish made with marinated mushrooms and cooked on skewers. Here is a simple recipe to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb button mushrooms, cleaned and stemmed
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tbsp gram flour (besan)
- 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala powder
- Salt to taste
- Oil for brushing
- Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before using)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, gram flour, ginger-garlic paste, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the mushrooms to the mixture and toss to coat the mushrooms evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
- Preheat the grill or broiler to high heat.
- Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, leaving some space between each mushroom.
- Brush the mushrooms with oil.
- Grill or broil the mushrooms for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until tender and cooked through.
- Remove the skewers from the grill and serve the hot Mushroom Tikka with mint chutney or lemon wedges.
Note: You can also cook the mushroom tikka on a pan or griddle, or in a tandoor (clay oven) if you have one.
Also you can add vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes to make a mixed veg mushroom tikka.
