Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Button mushrooms
- 120 grams Thick yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by wiping them with a damp cloth. Trim the stems if needed.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the thick yogurt until smooth. Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, chaat masala, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the cleaned mushrooms to the marinade and toss gently until they are fully coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
Preheat your oven or grill to 200°C (400°F). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.
Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers or arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Grill or bake the mushrooms for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are slightly charred and cooked through.
Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish and serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
