    Tikka mushrooms - juicy roasted mushrooms in an easy tikka marinade.

    This might sound a bit strange, but having a food blog, I often cook things that I'm not sure I'll like. If I only ever cooked things I knew I'd love, this blog would soon turn into a macaroni cheese fest.

    (which sounds amazing, by the way)

    These tikka mushrooms were one of the recipes that I wasn't entirely sure about. The mushrooms are marinated in yogurt and plenty of spice, and then roasted... and, roasted yogurt? Yeah, that sounds pretty terrible.

    But! It works! It works so, so well! The yogurt almost goes slightly crispy round the edges (I know, crispy yogurt sounds about as appetising as roasted yogurt, but bear with me), and the juicy mushrooms go perfectly with the Indian spices.

    Now - are these tikka mushrooms authentic? Almost certainly not - unless I’ve become a master of Indian cooking overnight with absolutely no effort (which I think is probably fairly unlikely). But, what they are is a really easy mushroom recipe that can be made with only a few minutes of effort. Just leave the mushrooms to marinate for a little while, then stick them in the oven, and you're done.

    My favourite thing about these tikka mushrooms is how versatile they are! As you can see, I served them for lunch with some salad and a suitably inauthentic pitta bread (naan would have been much better). But, they’d also be great as a canapé (on cocktail sticks, of course), or as a side dish alongside an Indian curry feast. I used big mushrooms and chopped them into chunks, but using some little button mushrooms whole would be good too.

    Feel free to adjust the spices depending on your personal preferences, by the way. Add more chilli powder if you like things really hot, or less if you'd prefer a milder flavour. Oh, and I would definitely recommend doubling or tripling the recipe. As written, it will only serve one (or two if you're a bit stingy), and believe me you'll be wishing you made more.

      Wonderful! I just made this as a quick appetizer and served it with some pappadums and both my hubby and I wish I had made more. I admit I used a hot chili powder and it was wow! Thanks for this tasty recipe. Greetings from Jimena de la Frontera Cadiz Spain5 stars
