Meatless Monday is getting more and more powerful and I am so happy to be connected with this movement. There is a growth in the consumption of fruits and Veges all over USA and guess what Iran has joined the campaign too. Impressive ! It has reached beyond boundaries, cultures and religion and making its own cult!
Recently, received an email that Mushroom Council is conducting a Mushroom Makeover Challenge, where you have to recreate a recipe with mushroom as the main ingredient, which is originally a meat recipe. Now that’s a challenge and a bloody good challenge. It came at the right time of the Memorial Day weekend when the whole nation is grilling.
The instant idea was to recreate chicken tikka masala with mushrooms. people who love Indian cuisine are not unaware of this popular and lip smackingly delicious dish. Pieces of meat skewered with vegetables like onion, tomato and bell pepper, marinated in a beautiful yogurt marinade and spices and then grilled! Yes, Mushroom was a perfect answer to replace chicken in this dish. My carnivore friends will be surprised to know that mushroom replaces the chicken so well and my husband didn’t even miss his meat in that skewer.
Let’s get to the recipe now!
Let me know what you think of this recipe!
Sonal
Love the pictures and of course love the idea of mushroom tikkas!
Thanks Aditi!
I took out baby mushrooms for marination on the same day when you posted and then somehow couldn’t do that.. 🙁 I have to make it this week for sure <3 I'm so much loving this grilled texture of your skewers…
I had chicken tikka massala tonight for dinner! Made by my 18 year old son. It was ok. Didn’t taste as good as yours looks. But don’t tell him I said so. He’s still learning. 😉 x
:))). You are so awesome !
His dinner wasn’t but it was edible. And I didn’t have to cook! Score. Tasteless/ish but it fills a hole. 😉 ! x
I am and hope you are almost done with your semester and crazy schedule :).

All I have to say is , “Oh yum!!”
Thanks 🙂

Priya :)))))…. Love
This looks and sounds so amazing! Other than the bread, I can eat all of this! I’m going to try this when I get home from vacation.
:))))
I love it!!! Cant find a better way to use mushrooms… Sonal, a quick query – mushrooms release too much water in marinade.. did u face this prob after marination? I hve been thru it so I usually marinate mushrooms for 15 mins only…
Actually no Shruti! I believe that mushrooms leave water when cooked. And I used Greek yogurt which is quite thick. Grilling probably evaporated the water immediately because of the high temperatures.
What a great mushroom dish, Sonal! That will be perfect for a summer bbq!
🙂 Patty, looking for your posts. Where is your macro Monday?
Holy yum!!! Looks so good. Another mushroom recipe to bookmark:)
If you ever try, let me know the result!
