Tandoori mushrooms
A while back I wrote a recipe for large tandoori mushrooms which proved to be quite popular. They were topped with a curry leaf vinaigrette. You can view it here.
Today I decided to make a very similar recipe but with ingredients that are easier to come by and equally as delicious. The great thing about both recipes is that they are quite food for you and also only take minutes to prepare.
I do prefer cooking these on the barbecue as I love the smoky flavour. Today, however I used smoked paprika and cooked them in the oven.
These tandoori mushrooms are nice served as a side dish but you could also make them as a main. I’m trying to cut back on my meat intake and I can assure you the meat wasn’t missed.
Well, perhaps it was missed a little but not enough to go running for the steaks I have marinating in the fridge.
Remove the stems and cut them up with the other ingredients.
Stuff the mushrooms, pressing down so you get all of the ingredients in.
Top with the mozzarella.
Serve nice and hot, topped with the coriander raita.
And another look at the finished dish.
