- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin

- 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons of tandoori masala, 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and salt to taste.
- Add the cleaned and halved mushrooms to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). If using a tandoor, preheat it as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Thread the marinated mushrooms onto skewers, shaking off any excess marinade, and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet. If using a tandoor, place the skewers in the tandoor and cook as per the manufacturer's instructions.
- Drizzle the mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and slightly charred.
- Remove the mushrooms from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mushrooms and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves.
- Serve the tandoori mushrooms hot with naan bread, rice, or as a standalone appetizer.
Tandoori Mushroom is a popular Indian dish that originated in the Punjab region. It is believed to have been created by chefs in the early 20th century, who were inspired by the traditional tandoori cooking method. The dish features marinated mushrooms cooked in a tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven, which imparts a smoky flavor. The marinade typically includes yogurt, spices like cumin, coriander, and turmeric, as well as garlic and ginger. Tandoori Mushroom is often served with naan bread, rice, and a side of mint chutney. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic Indian restaurants, where skilled chefs masterfully prepare the flavorful and aromatic Tandoori Mushroom.
