Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients for the marinade in a bowl and mix well. Add the mushroooms, red onions and bell peppers. Mix to coat on each side with the marinade. Let it rest for anywhere between 30 minutes to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. When ready to cook thread the marinated mushroom, peppers, and onions in the skewers alternating between each.

AirFryer Method:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  2. Lightly grease the air fryer basket. Arrange the mushroom skewers in the air fryer. Lightly brush or spray with oil.
  3. Cook for 6-8 minutes, turning the skewers at 4 minutes for even cooking.

Oven Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Now using parchment paper or foil, line a baking pan. Place a rack on top. Place the skewers on the rack, lightly brush or spray with oil, and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the mushroom is roasted.
  3. To obtain the char markings, turn on the broiler in the oven and broil the mushroom tikka for 2-3 minutes.

Stovetop Grill Method:

  1. Spray a heated grill pan with some oil. Then line the skewers. Cook from all sides until they are golden.
  2. Spray a little oil on the mushroom skewers, and then roast on open flame for a minute while turning to get the charred edges.

Outdoor Grill Method:

  1. Spray oil generously on the heated outdoor grill or line it with aluminum foil and spray with oil. This helps to avoid the mushroom from sticking to the grill. 
  2. Place the skewers on the grill, and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the mushroom is roasted and has char marks on the edges. Make sure to turn the skewers half way through.

Garnish & Serve

  1. Squeeze some lime juice on top. If you like, sprinkle some chaat masala for extra flavor. We love to serve this tandoori mushroom tikka with cilantro chutney.

Notes

  • Marinate: Marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer is ideal for more tender Tandoori Mushroom  Tikka.
  • Meal Prep: Make a batch of this marinated Mushrooms and freeze for later use or meal prep for the week.
  • Skewers: I used bamboo skewers. To avoid burning the skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before putting them together. If you have a batch of stainless steel or metal skewers on hand, you can use them without soaking them.
  • Make Mushroom Tikka Bites: Skip the skewers and place the marinated mushroom and veggies directly in the air fryer basket to make mushroom tikka bites.
