 Mushroom Tikka Masala – an easy meatless curry with mushrooms<\/h2>\n

When it comes to vegetarian dishes, I love to turn to Indian recipes. What’s not to love about all the intoxicating spices and complex flavors of Indian Cuisine! <\/p>\n

Now, creating vegetarian or vegan versions of popular take-out classics has become a thing, right?<\/p>\n

Most times, the meat substitute of choice seems to be cauliflower. And this works incredibly well. I mean, have you tried General Tso’s Cauliflower<\/a> ? DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n

But if you are looking at vegetarian and vegan curry recipes there are other options out there. Umami-richer options, like mushrooms!<\/p>\n

When I discovered this<\/a> insanely delicious-looking Mushroom Tikka Masala, I knew I had to create my own vegetarian version of this Indian restaurant classic.<\/p>\n

How to make Vegetarian Mushroom Tikka Masala: <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Mushroom Tikka Masala is basically a meat-free version of Chicken Tikka Masala. We treat the mushrooms in exactly the same way as we would normally prepare the chicken.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Let’s start by cooking a rich, creamy tomato sauce with hints of chili, cumin, and coriander. While the tikka masala sauce simmers, we toss the mushrooms in a spiced yogurt marinade. You can use coconut yogurt for a vegan version<\/strong>. Then, we fry them in hot ghee or coconut oil until they are nicely browned on all sides.<\/p>\n

Finally, all we need to do is combine them with the sauce and finish the Mushroom Tikka Masala with some lemon juice, cream, and fenugreek leaves. So simple, so delicious!<\/p>\n

What to serve with Mushroom Tikka Masala: <\/strong><\/h3>\n

I love to serve my Mushroom Tikka Masala sprinkled with cilantro leaves. You can enjoy it with basmati rice, or, if you want to go extra-healthy, with Cauliflower Rice<\/a> on the side.<\/p>\n
