    Restaurant Style Mushroom Tikka Masala Recipe is a find blend of marinated mushrooms, gently sauteed in luscious onion tomato gravy.

    Mushrooms have been a part of my meals from a few years now!

    From Continental to Indian, I like to use this versatile vegetable in how many dishes I can, due to its health benefits and nutritional properties.

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

    I first used it only in my Continental dishes such as Pasta, Risotto, Soups etc, but slowly and steadily I started experimenting with the Indian recipes too.

    And I loved the bite, texture and taste it brought to even simple curries. 

    And that’s when I understood that mushrooms were reserved just for the regal families in ancient Egypt for a reason.

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

    Therefore, you will always find a pack of Mushrooms in my freezer, so that whenever I am out of vegetables, I can just use my favourite mushrooms to make my everyday meals.

    But this time, I want to give my usual curries a break and make something Restaurant Style. 

    And that’s when I thought why not use the recipes of Chicken Tikka Masala or Veg Tikka Masala, to create a mushroom version of it.

    And it was the best decision ever!

    Here are some other Indian Mushroom Recipes, that you can give a try – Mushroom Masala, Dhingri Matar and Shahi Mushroom Biryani. 

    Give this Restaurant Style Mushroom Tikka Masala a try, and you will love every bite of it.

    Even if people who don’t like Mushrooms, will eat it with joy.

    About the recipe

    It is a fine blend of marinated mushrooms, gently sautéed in luscious gravy prepared from tomato puree, fresh cream, everyday 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.

    Ingredients

    This curry looks rich but is made with simple and everyday ingredients.

    To marinate the mushrooms, you just need hung curd, ginger garlic paste, lemon juice, tikka masala powder, salt and a bit red colour.

    You can avoid the red colour too. 

    If you don’t have hung curd at home, you can make it from the normal curd.

    Just hang the curd in muslin cloth until all the whey comes out.

    Don’t use the normal curd in the marination, as it will leave the water.

    The marinated mushrooms are grilled and then added into a tomato-onion gravy which is flavoured with whole spices, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste, Kasuri methi and everyday spices.

    It is made rich with fresh cream, that makes the curry creamy and royal.

    Process

    To make this recipe, mushrooms are made into Mushroom Tikka first and then simmered in the gravy. 

    They are marinated with hung curd, ginger garlic paste, spices and then grilled until slightly charred.

    They are then simmered in a creamy onion tomato based gravy.

    To give this tikka masala a smoky flavour, you can even smoke it.

    Serving Suggestions

    This delicious accompaniment can be served with Naan, Parathas and even Phulkas.

    Serve it hot with flatbreads, salads, dal and rice of your choice and savour a royal meal. 

    Variations 

    You can stuff the cavity of the mushroom with a rich khoya and paneer mixture and make stuffed mushroom tikka.

    Then you can simmer these bharwan mushrooms in the gravy.

    You can add Achari Masala in the marinade and gravy and make Achari Mushroom Tikka Masala.

    Add cream and khoya in the gravy and make Nawabi Mushroom Tikka Masala.

    You can also add cashew Nut and melon seeds paste to make the gravy even richer.

    Here is the recipe to make Tikka Masala Spice Mix at home.
