Stuffed Tandoori Mushroom

This Tandoori mushroom is an elegant appetizer or side dish! Mushrooms are nicely coated in a tandoori marination and then stuffed with broccoli and cheese filling with some alluring seasoning! Yes, Juicy and spicy outer crust with moist and delicious filling is a must try if you are a mushroom lover.

You can replace broccoli with cauliflower or any other veggies of your choice.  Here I used only 6 to 8 mushrooms to stuff and so the filling needed was a very little. It has nice garlic flavor and also along with the cheese I added a secret ingredient Labneh(yogurt cream cheese I just love them) and the flavor was divine. You can skip if it’s not available in your place.

Here my kids don’t like mushroom so made it only for us and Riz just loved it. We had it with side to rice, but you can also serve it as an appetizer with a cup of coffee. This is a Keto Friendly recipe that you can have with any salad. Hope you guys will enjoy it
