Instructions
 

  • Method : Soak your bamboo skewers in water for 2 hours.
  • Take a bowl. Add yogurt and chickpea flour and mix well with a fork or a whisk.
  • Add garlic, ginger, lemon juice, salt, garam masala, red pepper powder.
  • Mix well with the fork. Your basic marinade is ready.
  • Add washed and cleaned mushrooms, bell peppers, onions and tomato pieces to the marinade.
  • Mix them with a light hand so that every piece is coated well. Cover with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Now take the marinade out and met rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. Start skewering the bamboo with vegetable pieces. Start with mushrooms gently as they are tender, and then bell pepper, onion and tomato.
  • Repeat it to fill the skewer and skewer all the vegetables likewise on bamboo.
  • Heat the grill or pan to high. I used electric grill. Brush the grill with oil.
  • Now place the skewers on the grill.
  • Once the skewers are placed, I often cover them with foil to steam cook them first for 8 odd minutes, so that the yogurt and chickpea flour gets cooked initially.
  • Now remove the foil. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes each side, flipping them. Beautiful charring makes them look more desirable. They are ready!
  • Serving suggestion : You may enjoy them as is.
  • Stuff your pita bread, flat bread, big sandwich bread/roll, thin naan, chapati/roti, with mushroom tikka masala and add some shredded cabbage, onions, cucumber and tomato slices, a dash of lemon and tzatziki.
  • Serve them over the bed of any kind of pilaf or rice.
  • You may serve these as main course or grill them in smaller cocktail skewers and serve as appetizers.
