Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 2-inch piece peeled ginger, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon red chili powder or hot paprika
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
12 ounces cremini, portobello or other mushrooms, trimmed

Steps:

  • Place the ginger, garlic, salt, cumin, chili powder, turmeric and white pepper in a food processor. Finely chop, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, and purée. Add the sour cream and yogurt, and pulse processor in short bursts, just to mix. 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.
  • Thread mushrooms on bamboo or metal skewers. In tandoor, cook mushrooms until lightly browned on outside, 2 to 3 minutes. Baste with 1 tablespoon oil and continue cooking until golden brown and tender, 1 to 2 minutes more. If grilling or broiling, cook mushrooms until golden and tender, 3 to 4 minutes a side, 6 to 8 minutes total, basting with oil.
