Tandoori mushrooms are a delicious and flavorful appetizer or main course that can be easily prepared at home. This dish is made with mushrooms that are marinated in a yogurt-based marinade and then grilled or baked. The marinade typically includes spices such as cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric, which give the mushrooms a smoky and aromatic flavor. Tandoori mushrooms can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as mint chutney or raita, and are a perfect accompaniment to rice or naan bread.

Transfer marinade to a glass, ceramic or stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Wipe mushrooms clean with damp paper towels. Stir mushrooms into the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- If using a tandoor, heat it to 500 degrees. If using a grill or broiler, heat to high.
