mushroom tikka masala - mushroom tikka on stove top

mushroom tikka masala with step by step pictures.easy to make mushroom tikka on stove top,using grill pan with mint coriander leaves flavors in the tikka marination.

mushroom tikka,i really want to give a try on this after tasting so many times outside.Finally i got the ingredients right and they are mint and coriander leaves along with little besan or gram flour to make that masala to stick to mushroom pieces.

Initially i want to try the same method as use for paneer tikka ,but dont want to make the same procedure again and again and also want to try the new combo ,the green chillies and green mint, coriander leaves gives a wonderful flavor to the tikka.I did not used any thickening ingredients like cream or cashews in the recipe.Just the left over marinade i used for the gravy too and the gravy thickens with the help of besan/gram flour.

I made these tikkas in grill pan which is so easier fro me and it does not need much oil or ghee there.Use the grill pan if you are using stove top method rather than shallow frying in kadai.lets move on making the recipe.,
