Tandoori Mushroom Tikka is a popular Indian dish of spiced marinated mushrooms, grilled in a tandoor or BBQ.
Mushroom Tikka’s are spicy, juicy, and slightly smoky elevating this beautiful vegetable with Indian spices. It is served alongside lime wedges, onion salad and mint and coriander chutney. The beauty of simple ingredients, very few spices and fiery cooking method ensures this dish is world famous for its leopard-spotted char and smoky flavours.
I love mushroom and always make a mushroom based dish while doing BBQ at home. Recently my intake of mushroom has increased due to its immune supporting nutrients and high Vitamin D content. The process to make mushroom tikka is super easy- marinate the mushrooms with spices and yogurt, let it sit for a bit so that the flavours mix well together and then grill the mushrooms. There are lots of different types of readymade spices available to make tikkas, but I always find them too overpowering and somehow it gives a powdery flavour to the tikkas. Hence, I always make my own spice mix using the simple ingredients at home and the result is always flavoursome and delicious.
This is a low calorie, delicious and flavoursome tikka recipe. Serve the tikkas on its own or make a wrap.
