Mint Mushroom Tikki | Healthy Low-Calorie Snack Recipe
Mushrooms are my daughter's most favorite food. So I often include it in her lunchbox either as pulao or gravy to accompany with roti. Last week i bought mushrooms from fairprice, Somehow i could not prepare for weekday which later turned out to be perfect snack for weekend. Whenever I look for healthy snack which means less oil, light and tasty food which satisfy weekend evening crave - tikkis / kebabs would be the first option strikes from my mind.
Preparation & Cooking Time : 45 minutes
Yield : Serves 2
Ingredients:
Button Mushroom - 1 punnet (i used brown mushroom)Fresh Mint leaves - 1 cup
Coriander - 1/2 cup
Low Fat Fresh Hung Curd / Low-Fat Greek style yogurt - 1/2 cup
Green Chilli - 3
Ginger - 2" piece
Salt to taste
Oil , as needed to fry tikki
Method:
- Grind mint, coriander, green chilli and ginger to fine paste without adding water.
- Wash mushroom thoroughly and pat dry. Poke the mushrooms with a fork to let the marination set.
- In a mixing bowl, combine curd, ground mint paste, lemon juice and salt. Add the mushroom. Mix well. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick pan and cook the mushrooms on a medium heat, using oil. Allow it to cook evenly by turning in between until slightly golden.
- Serve healthy mushroom tikki immediately.
Note:
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat to avoid burning dark.
- Alternatively you can grill or bake in pre-heated oven for 8-10 minutes.
- If incase marination has become watery use besan to give thickness.
- For a change cauliflower / paneer can be used following same procedure.
