mushroom tikka recipe | how to make mushroom tikka on tawa with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and economical recipe for preparing the restaurant style tandoori mushroom tikka recipe. traditionally the tikka recipes are prepared in tandoor and hence it is mentioned as tandoori tikka recipes. however in this recipe, the tikka is prepared on tawa / grill which should have the same result, flavour and taste.
i have always been a huge fan of paneer recipes and i personally love paneer tikka recipe. but my husband has a different taste preference and he like tandoori mushroom tikka recipe for his starters. so whenever we plan our outdoor dinners, tikka recipes are always on the order menu. so basically if we order mushroom tikka recipe as starter then, we end up having paneer tikka masala recipe for mains. similarly the other way if we are in mood to have paneer in starters and mushroom in mains. we have been following this practice for a quite a long time now and to be honest i have started liking mushroom tikka as well. especially the combination of tender spiced mushrooms with mint chutney is just heaven.
some important tips, variations and recommendations for a perfect moist and tender mushroom tikka recipe. firstly, the marination process is very critical and i would heavily recommend to marinate minimum of 30 mins to 60 mins for best result. also you can mix and match with both mushroom and paneer to prepare a combination of starters. secondly, use small button mushrooms as compared to large shaped mushrooms. small one should be easy while frying / grilling on tawa / grill. lastly, you can also bake the mushroom skewers on a traditional baking oven to have the similar taste and flavour from tandoori oven. you should be good to bake it for 45-50 minutes in a preheated oven. make sure to turn the skewers on a regular interval so that it bakes evenly.
