Tandoori Chestnut Mushrooms
Tandoori Mushrooms with mildly spiced sauce
This is a nice one that’s just as good for summertime barbecues as it is for cold winter nights in. I make it quite often and usually serve it as a light lunch or side dish for a curry night with friends.
The recipe is really low in calories though you’d never know it. These mushrooms are packed with flavour and definitely worth a try.
I like to cook the whole mushrooms on the skewers though my wife prefers them cooked in smaller pieces. I’ll leave that up to you.
Whatever you decide, you are going to love dipping these into the spicy sauce. It’s so easy to make because it’s just the left over marinade that has been warmed up.
You will want to marinate the mushrooms for 30 minutes to an hour but it only takes about ten minutes to plate up after that.
Enjoy.
