Mushroom tikka recipe with video – This is a very easy recipe. You just need to marinate the mushrooms and then grill or bake the mushrooms in the oven. You can even use a tandoor or grill if you have these.
This mushroom tikka recipe is an adaptation of the famous amritsari fish or Amritsari maachli. though I had seen amritsari fish in the Punjabi dhabas (road side eateries) many times….
For the first time I had made this dish for one of my cooking classes tests. I was paired with another girl and together we made this.
In this recipe I have Grilled the mushrooms. however, you can fry them too. this same marination 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 tandoori 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 herbed dip. Some onion-lemon slices or even pickled onions go well with the tikka.

Notes
- If frying the mushroom tikka, then don't add oil to the marination.
- Another option for frying - marinate the mushrooms first. Then make a thick flowing batter with gram flour/besan, water and salt. Dip the marinated mushrooms in the batter and deep fry or shallow fry.

Hi dassana..i have LG microwave which has both grill and convection mode…should i select grill mode or convection mode for this recipe?
you can select either. for tikkas i have used both the grill and convection mode when i used to use microwave oven. but do not select combination mode.
Mushroom is full how will be the marinade penetrate inside it
Ritu, mushroom is porous so it will absorb the marination flavors.
Hi. I have tried some of your recipes and they have turned out to be really good. I am making mushroom tikka. But I don’t have skewers. Can I shallow fry them on a griddle. Do I still need to use besan for griddle.
Thanks Sanyogita. You can pan fry them. No need to use the skewers. Besan helps to prevent the sticking. but you can skip also.
Hello ma’am
Can i add two tablespoons of curd to it?
you can add.
Hey,
I don’t have skewers right now, what is the alternative?
just keep the marinated mushrooms in a foil and bake. remove them halfway through baking, turn with a fork and keep for baking again. you can also pan fry them in some oil on a tawa.
hey
where is step by step method.
a few recipes do not have step by step method. eventually i will update these recipes one by one.

It looks yummy. But my mushrooms didn’t come like this. They were shrunk. I used convection mode in my oven. Can you tell me what would b the problem with mine.
mushrooms do shrunk while cooking. i think you must have kept it for a longer time in the oven. could be due to this the mushrooms have shrunked.
Nice recipe
