Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yogurt, chickpea flour, lemon juice, oil, ginger-garlic paste, ground coriander, turmeric, Kashmiri chili powder, garam masala, cumin, and salt until smooth.
  • Add the mushrooms and toss gently to coat each one evenly in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to soak in.
  • Preheat oven to 425℉. Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers and place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly charred. For a smokier flavor, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning.
  • Serve hot on the skewers or remove and arrange them on a plate. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with green chutney.

Notes

  • Make sure the mushrooms are completely dry before marinating. This helps the coating stick and ensures a beautiful char.
  • You can also cook these on a grill pan or outdoor BBQ for a more authentic smoky flavor.
  • Adjust chili powder to taste depending on your spice preference.
  • For vegan tandoori mushrooms, use plant-based yogurt.
