Vegan Mushroom Tikka Masala

Do you know I did not like mushrooms before I met my husband ? He made sure I ate mushrooms regularly. It took me some time to get used to the texture but eventually I started loving them.
Mushroom Tikka Masala hits the taste buds when you are craving for something tangy and spicy. The gravy is full of flavors and you will not be able to tell that it is vegan. It does not require marination or prep work ahead of time. It came together in 20 minutes and tasted so delicious. My son almost licked his plate. Serve this hot with Naan or Rotis and with pickled onions.
