Veg Recipes Of India Mushroom Tikka

Mushrooms coated with a flavorful marinade and then cooked in the oven (or on the grill) until browned and little charred! This Mushroom Tikka makes a great appetizer for any occasion and is also vegan.

To marinate the mushrooms, I have used almond milk yogurt here (hence this recipe is vegan) but plain milk yogurt would work just fine.

Before using the yogurt in the recipe, I place it in a strainer with a bowl below and let it sit for 20-30 minutes. This way, I have thick yogurt for the marinade as the excess fluid drains off.

The yogurt is mixed with lot of spices like coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder. I also add ginger-garlic paste, fresh cilantro and mustard oil.

Once the marinade is ready, I add the mushrooms and coat them with it. For this mushroom tikka recipe, I used a mix of white mushrooms and cremini mushrooms.

You can make this with all white mushrooms too. I just had both at hands and so I ended up using both for the recipe.

Once the tikka is marinated, I let it sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This gives the time for the mushrooms to soak in the all the flavors.

Here’s a handy tip- if you are using wooden skewers, dip them in warm water for around 30 minutes before using in the recipe.

I cooked this mushroom tikka in my oven but you can cook it on stove-top or you can grill it as well.

, use a grill pan and brush it with oil. Then place the skewers on the pan and cook until mushrooms are golden brown from both sides. Keep turning every 5 minutes or so.

Before you start, place the yogurt (I have used plain almond milk yogurt here) in a strainer with a bowl below it. Let the yogurt strain for 20 to 30 minutes. You need thick yogurt for this recipe.

2- Add ginger-garlic paste, besan, coriander powder, garam masala, red chili powder, kashmiri red chili powder (if using), chaat masala and salt.

3- Add in the mustard oil. If you don’t have mustard oil, you can use olive oil or any other oil of choice.

7- Toss to combine so that all mushrooms are well coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour. Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 400 F degrees.

Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and spray the foil lightly with a non-stick spray. Place the skewers on the sheet.

Sharing one more Restaurant-style gravy of mushroom tikka masala. I had got a few requests to post this gravy recipe. this tikka masala gravy is different than the usual one I make with paneer or grilled veggies. Here I have not added fresh curd and used cashew paste. Thus the gravy is creamy and slightly sweet.

Mushroom Tikka Masala (restaurant Style) » Dassana's Veg Recipes

Preparing any tikka masala gravy takes time. So you can divide the prep work like marinating the tikkas a night before and then grilling & preparing gravy, the next day.

Mushroom tikka can be made both in the oven or on stovetop. i have listed both the methods in the step by step pics below. So choose one which suits you.

Serve mushroom tikka masala hot with tandoori roti, butter naan, lachedar paratha, chapati or Phulka. The gravy also goes well with jeera rice, saffron rice or veg pulao.

Mushroom Masala (mushroom Curry)

1. We will need hung curd/yogurt or thick yogurt for this recipe. I used ½ cup fresh curd and strained it in a muslin cloth with a light weight kept on it, overnight in the fridge.

From ½ cup fresh curd, I got 4 tablespoons hung curd. If using thick curd, then also use 4 tbsp of it.

5. Stir and mix again very well. You can also add ½ tablespoons oil if grilling the mushroom tikka in the oven or a tandoor grill. If pan-frying or sauteing, then no need to add oil.

6. Now add mushrooms to the marinade mixture. The mushrooms can be rinsed and then wiped if too many mud particles on them or just lightly wiped with a moist cloth, if they are clean.

7. With your hands, gently mix and coat the mushrooms with the marinade. Cover the bowl with a lid and allow the mushrooms to get marinated for 30 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge. You can also keep for a couple of hours in the fridge or overnight.

8. Meanwhile add 2 large tomatoes and 8 to 10 cashews in a bowl containing hot water. Cover and keep aside for 20 to 30 minutes.

Indian Veg Recipes, Indian Food Recipes, Cuisine, Cooking

The tomatoes will get blanched and the cashews will soften. You can heat the water on a stovetop, in a microwave or in an electric heater. Use almonds or a mix of almonds and melon seeds (magaz) if you don’t want to use cashews.

10. Add the tomatoes along with its juices and the cashews to a grinder or blender jar. Without adding any water grind to a smooth paste.

1. Line the pan with an aluminium foil. Thread the mushrooms on a skewer and bake/grill for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degrees celsius.

3. Let each side of the mushrooms get cooked a bit and then turn over. Use a well-seasoned pan or non-stick pan for sauteing the mushrooms, otherwise, the marinade sticks to the pan.

4. Turn over and saute so that each side gets browned and cooked well. A time will come when the mushrooms will begin to release water and the oil will begin to splutter. Just cover the pan with a lid half way and continue to cook the mushrooms.

5. Saute till the marinade coating on the mushrooms is nicely golden and crisp. Remove the sauteed mushrooms with a slotted spoon and keep aside.

6. In the same oil, add ½ cup finely chopped onions. If you have grilled all the mushrooms, then just heat 2 tablespoons of oil.

10. Next add 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste. Stir and saute till the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away or for a few seconds.

11. Now add ⅓ cup chopped capsicum (green bell pepper) and 1 to 2 slit green chilies. Green chilies give the dish some heat. Skip if making for kids or if you or family members cannot tolerate heat.

Mushroom Butter Masala

24. Add the sauteed or grilled mushrooms. If you want, you can prepare the gravy first. Then while serving, pour the gravy in the serving bowl. Place the mushroom tikkas on the gravy.

25. Add ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder, a pinch or two of grated nutmeg or nutmeg powder and 1 teaspoon kasuri methi (crushed).

Substitute for fresh cream is 1 tablespoon milk powder or 1 tablespoon grated Khoya. if using either, then add them after you add the tomato-cashew paste and saute.
