mushroom tikka – easy mushroom tikka recipe

mushroom tikka recipe

after many days posting a video recipe… that of mushroom tikka. had made the tikka long time back when i had posted the dry pomegranate chutney recipe.

windows movie maker gave me irritating issues when making the video. finally after searching a lot of solutions on the web, i managed to make and publish the video on the blog's youtube channel.

now after the rant, coming to this recipe of mushroom tikka. this is really really easy recipe. you just need to marinate the mushrooms and then grill or bake them in the oven. you can even use a tandoor or grill if you have these.

this recipe is an adaptation of the famous amritsari fish or amritsari maachli. though i had seen this dish in the punjabi dhabas, first time i had made it for one of my cooking classes tests. i was paired with another girl and together we made this. we had fried the fish instead of grilling them.

in this recipe too, you can fry the mushrooms or grill them. i grilled the mushrooms in the oven. this recipe can be used with veggies like potatoes, aubergines, cauliflower and broccoli. you can even use tofu or paneer.

this mushroom tikka recipe does not use any yogurt/curd for marination. gram flour or besan is one of the main marinating ingredients along with ajwain or carom seeds. so the tikka does have the flavor of carom seeds. the rest of the spices and herbs all together enhance the overall taste and flavor in this dish.

when serving, always remember to sprinkle some chaat masala and lemon juice on the mushrooms. you can also keep the chaat masala and lemon slices in separate bowls, so that the rest of the folks add these as much they want.

this mushroom tikka can be served as a starter. it can also be had with naan or rotis accompanied with a mint-yogurt chutney or any green chutney or a herby dip. some onion-lemon slices or even pickled onions go well with the tikka.

  • ½ tsp ajwain or carom seeds
  • ¼ or ½ tsp organic red chili powder (1/2 tsp red chili powder made the tikka a bit hot)

  • salt + black salt as required or rock salt
  • chaat masala to sprinkle
  • few chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
  • few drops of lemon juice as required and lemon wedges to be served
  • 1 medium sized onion, sliced thinly with some salt & lemon juice added – served as an accompaniment.
  1. rinse the mushrooms well in water.
  2. drain and wipe them dry.
  3. trim the earthy base stalks a little.
  4. in a mixing bowl, take all the mushrooms.
  5. add all the spice powders, carom seeds, salt and oil.
  6. mix well.
  7. keep aside to marinate for 20-25 minutes.
  8. preheat the oven to 200 degrees C.
  9. after 20-25 mins, add the gram flour and mix well.
  10. bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or till the mushrooms are cooked and tender and are browned.
  11. sprinkle some lemon juice, chaat masala, coriander leaves on the mushroom tikka.
  12. serve mushroom tikka hot or warm with a green chutney, rotis or naan or even bread.

if frying the tikka, then don't add oil to the marination.
another option for frying – marinated the mushrooms first. then make a thick flowing from the gram flour/besan. dip the marinated mushrooms in the batter and deep fry or shallow fry.
