Mushroom Tikka

Ingredients for Mushroom Tikka:

• 10-12 white button mushrooms (rinsed, patted dry and lower portion of stalks chopped)
• 1 cup colored bell peppers, diced
• 1/2 cup hung curd (take 3/4 cup curd and tie in muslin cloth for 1-2 hours)
• 1/4 cup red onion diced
• 2 tablespoon chickpea flour/ besan
• 2 tablespoon oil
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (optional)
• 1 teaspoon kasuri methi
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• Salt to taste

Method:

1. In a bowl take hung curd. Add chickpea flour, red chili powder (if using), kasuri methi, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder, salt and 1 tablespoon oil to it. Whisk well to make a lump free marinade.

2. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper and onion dices to it. Squeeze out 1/2 lemon to it.

3. Mix everything very well such that each mushroom and vegetable pieces get coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least 1-2 hours. If time permits, keep it overnight.

4. Now take 3-4 satay sticks. Skewer the marinated mushroom, bell peppers and onions alternatively on each stick. (You can skip this step and simply place each piece on a greased heated skillet and roast from all sides until golden brown).

5. Heat a skillet over medium flame. Grease it with oil. Now place the skewered sticks on it and roast on medium flame.

6. Keep rotating the stick so that the tikka is cooked well from all sides. Sprinkle remaining 1 tablespoon oil while doing so.

7. Serve the delicious and healthy Mushroom Tikka with some salad and a dip of your choice.

Mushrooms are marinated and kept overnight so that the yogurt and spices infuse well into the mushrooms making it all the more flavorful. Use small size button mushrooms for this recipe as they cook fast. You can also replace the mushrooms or add on paneer, baby corn or broccoli. The left over marinade can be used in making any gravy dish. With mushrooms being low in calories, rich in proteins, fiber and other nutrients, this mushroom tikka recipe is sure to be a hit with the whole family!
