    I'm obsessed with this mushroom tikka masala because it's a great meatless alternative to chicken tikka masala.

    We love to serve it too along with the chicken version and other north indian meals.

    πŸ”ͺ How to make Mushroom Tikka Masala?

    Your Mushrooms will marinate first to add mre instensife flavors to your tikka masala dish.

    You can skip the marination if you are short on time but I recommend it as it will take your dish to the next level!

    I have outlined roughly 3 how to steps below. Find the detailed recipe with ingredients at the bottom of this post.

    Step 1

    Clean and cut mushrooms.

    Prepare marination with yogurt and spices and coat mushrooms with it.

    prepare marination for mushrooms

    Step 2

    Sautee onion, bay leaf and tomato.

    Build up curry sauce with tomato sauce and liquid cream.

    saute onion tomato and build up sauce

    Step 3

    Add marinated mushrooms to the pan and pour stock over that.

    Cook mushrooms soft.

    Season with salt and garnish with fresh cilantro.

    add mushrooms and cook tikka masala

    πŸ„ Mushroom choice

    This recipe works best with white or brown button mushrooms.

    However, you can use other cultivated mushrooms too such as portobello and oyster mushrooms.

    If you know your mushrooms, then you can use wild mushrooms too such as morel and chanterelle.

    πŸ“œ Flavor Variations

    I love my mushroom curry as is but I have also made some variations by adding ingredients.

    This comes handy when I have leftovers of fresh vegetables which I don't want to waste.

    You can add any of the following vegetables to this mushroom masala:

    • Bell Pepper
    • Green Peas
    • Potato or Sweet Potato
    • Leek
    • Asparagus or Moringa Pod
    • Zucchini, pumpkin r other squash
    • gourds like snake gourd, ridge gourd, bottle gourd

    For non-vegetarians: I also like to add a boiled egg or I don't mind adding rotisserie meat leftovers too. Grilled Shrimp are great with mushrooms too!

    πŸ₯£ Serving

    Serve over cooked plain rice or Pilaf rice.

    I like it with couscous too or polenta. That's a decent alternative if you are tired of rice.

    Or gobble it up with bread or a flatbread such as chapati or paratha.

    🍱 Storing

    Keep leftovers in a airtight fridge friendly container for up to 5 days in your fridge.

    Heat it up in a pan over stove top.

    You can freeze thid dish too in batches.

    Just thaw in the microwave or oven.

    If I'm in a huge hurry, I just place the frozen tikka masala in a nonstick pot with a small quantity of water and cover the pot and keep it over a slow heat setting until it's hot again.
