Maitake “Chicken” Tikka Masala

A spicy and creamy tikka masala in which Maitake mushrooms mimic the texture of chicken. Perfect for those who want a meat-free version of the classic Indian dish. I myself am a huge fan of Indian food, and especially when it comes to vegetarian dishes.

Procedure:

  1. Marinate the mushrooms:In a bowl, mix the yogurt with the tikka masala spice mix. Add the Maitake mushrooms and toss until evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Fry onions and spices: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until the onion is soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the mushrooms: Add the marinated Maitake mushrooms to the pan and fry for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden.
  4. Make the sauce: Stir in the chopped tomatoes and coconut milk. Simmer the dish for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serving: Serve the tikka masala over cooked rice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
