Ingredients

• 250 grams Button mushrooms
• 120 grams Thick yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chaat masala
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean the mushrooms thoroughly by wiping them with a damp cloth. Trim the stems if needed.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, whisk the thick yogurt until smooth. Add ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala powder, chaat masala, lemon juice, oil, and salt. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 3

Add the cleaned mushrooms to the marinade and toss gently until they are fully coated. Let the mushrooms marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

Step 4

Preheat your oven or grill to 200°C (400°F). If using an oven, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it.

Step 5

Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers or arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Grill or bake the mushrooms for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are slightly charred and cooked through.

Step 7

Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for garnish and serve hot with mint chutney or yogurt dip.
