Mushroom Tikka: Juicy shrooms in a zesty yoghurt-spice marinade, skewered and roasted until tender. This vegetarian appetiser is full of smoky, tangy flavour and makes for a perfect starter at any BBQ or dinner party. Serve hot with mint chutney and onion rings.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, garam masala, cumin powder, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Taste and add lemon juice as needed to balance the flavours.

Marinate the Veg
Reserve some of the marinade for basting the skewers later. Add the halved mushrooms, sliced onions and bell peppers to the marinade bowl. Mix gently but thoroughly, until all the vegetables are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to meld.

Preheat and Skewer
If using an oven, preheat to 200°C (400°F).
If cooking on the stovetop, place a grill pan or tawa on medium heat and lightly oil it. Meanwhile, thread the marinated mushrooms, onions and peppers alternately onto skewers, packing them tightly.

Grill the Tikkas
Brush the skewers with the reserved marinade. If using the oven, place them on a lined baking tray and grill for 10 minutes. Flip the skewers over, baste with marinade, and return to the oven for 6-7 minutes more, or until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred.
If cooking on the stovetop, grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, turning and basting often, until done.
