Whenever my kids order non veg (even though I am a vegetarian they pretty much eat everything), they try Chicken tikka masala. I wanted to try the vegetarian version. Since kids love mushroom I have selected mushroom but you can try this with Paneer or Tofu as well. I have posted dry Tofu Tikka before. This one is gravy type.. My kids wanted this restaurant style. So I have add cream you can skip it if you want lighter version
Ingredients
For Tikka:
Mushroom – 250g
Hung Yogurt – 6 tablespoon (I have used 0% greek yogurt)
Capsicum – 1/2 (cubed)
Red chilli powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Lemon juice – 1/2 teaspoon
Ginger Paste – 1/2 teaspoon
Garlic – 2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Corn flour – 1 tablespoon
Saffron – 3 strands (crushed)
Oil for shallow frying
Garam masala powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Cumin powder – 1/2 teaspoon
For Gravy:
Onion – 2 (medium)
Tomatoes – 3 (Medium)
Ginger – 1 inch
Garlic – 5 pods
Coriander powder – 1 teaspoon
Garam masala – 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – 1/4 teaspoon
Cream – 2 tablespoon (If you skip you can use cashew paste)
Kasuri methi – 1 teaspoon
oil – 4 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Cumin seeds – 1 teaspoon
Coriander leaves – 2 tablespoon (chopped finely)

The gravy is absolutely nice. Good idea to replace mushrooms with tofu which we use often compared to paneer.
