About This Recipe

Mushroom Tikka is an easy Indian starter or appetizer, in which mushrooms are marinated in a creamy and spicy marinade and grilled or baked. It is a healthy Indian appetizer and protein-rich recipe made from button mushrooms. Along with mushrooms, you can add your favourite vegetable. In this tandoori mushroom tikka recipe, we have added onions and bell peppers. In this recipe, it is very important to marinate mushroom and other vegetables in hung curd and spices.

We have baked and grilled the mushrooms with other vegetables in the oven after marination. But you can prepare this delicious mushroom tikka without oven too.

We have sliced the mushrooms for even cooking, but if you wish you can keep whole mushrooms and proceed with the marination and grilling.

How to prepare tandoori mushroom tikka without skewers?

If you don’t have skewers, then you can use toothpicks. For that, try and arrange about 2-3 pieces on it (eg. One bell pepper, one mushroom and one onion). Then you can bake in oven.

Alternatively, you can arrange all the marinated stuff on greased tava/non-stick pan and keep flipping them till done.

How to cook on a tava/non-stick pan?

Spread little oil on a flat pan/tawa and place the skewers on it.

Keep rotating the skewers to ensure even cooking, and keep them on heat till the marination and the mushrooms and veggies are done well. When ready, the coating of the mushroom tikka will be dry and then it will start to turn brown from the edges.

Step-by-Step Recipe

Take hung curd and besan in a wide bowl and whisk well until smooth.

Add all the ingredients for marination to the hung curd + besan mixture – garlic + chilli flakes paste, ajwain, dhaniya+jeera powder, garam masala/kitchen king masala, chaat masala, salt, lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon oil. Mix everything well.

Soak wooden skewers in water for about 15-20 minutes. Pat them dry. If you are using metal skewers, skip this step.

After 1 hour, take the marinated mushroom and veggies out of the refrigerator. Take a skewer and arrange mushroom, onion and peppers on a skewer, alternating with each other.

Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and grease the foil with few drops of oil. Place the skewers on the sheet.

Pre-heat oven at 200 degrees Celsius.

Bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes. After 15 minutes turn the skewers so that there is uniform grilling.

Then press the grill mode and grill for 5 minutes until the mushrooms look little charred.
