It was not without a reason that mushrooms were reserved just for the regal families in the ancient Egypt.

Along with its exquisite flavour, mushroom has this incredible nutrition that enriches umpteen dishes in whichever way it is made.

Considered to be high on fibre, vitamins, and minerals, mushrooms are indeed good to be included in your diet on a regular basis.

Whenever I get a chance, with a pack of mushrooms ready in my freezer, I often prepare mushroom loaded recipes like Lemony Garlic Mushroom Spaghetti, Shahi Mushroom Biryani, Oriental Crispy Mushrooms for dinner and they turn out really good.

To experiment with a North Indian curry, instead of Chicken Tikka Masala or Veg Tikka Masala, I thought of using mushrooms to try my hands on making Restaurant Style Mushroom Tikka Masala Recipe.

What is Mushroom Tikka Masala?

Restaurant Style Mushroom Tikka Masala Recipe is a find blend of marinated mushrooms, gently sautéed in luscious gravy prepared from tomato puree, fresh cream and spices and tikka masala powder.

As mushrooms have this royal coat of hung curd, tikka masala, ginger garlic paste, it tends to absorb the unique flavours that are all imbibed in these ingredients, resulting into a lip-smacking curry that you might even eat on repeats.
