Spiced yogurt imparts tenderness and creamy tang to maitake or crimini mushrooms and creates delicious charred outer layers. Serve with a simple naan-like grilled flatbread, which can be made gluten-free with millet flour if you prefer—but cook them in a skillet instead as they will be more delicate to handle. —Rachel Gurjar

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 - 6 Servings

Ingredients

Yogurt sauce

1 cup plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
3 tsp. honey
1 tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt
2 garlic cloves

Pickled onions

1 small red onion, very thinly sliced, preferably on a mandoline
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt

Flatbread and assembly

4 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 2" piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 Tbsp. ground coriander
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground turmeric
1 tsp. sugar
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1½ cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt, divided
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
1 Tbsp. plus ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt, divided
1 lb. maitake mushrooms, ends trimmed, separated into large pieces; or whole crimini mushrooms
½ cup (63 g) whole wheat flour
1¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Cilantro leaves with tender stems and lime wedges (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Yogurt sauce

    Step 1

    Blend yogurt, lime juice, honey, cumin seeds, salt, and garlic in a blender until smooth. Transfer sauce to a small bowl and set aside.

  2. Pickled onions

    Step 2

    Toss onion, lime juice, and salt in another small bowl to combine. Let sit at least 15 minutes.

    Do ahead: Onion can be pickled 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.

  3. Flatbread and assembly

    Step 3

    Whisk garlic, ginger, lime juice, coriander, cumin, turmeric, sugar, cayenne, 1 cup yogurt, 1 Tbsp. oil, 1 Tbsp. Diamond Crystal or 1½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and 2 Tbsp. water in a medium bowl to make a paste.

    Step 4

    Place mushrooms in a large bowl and carefully spoon paste over. Using your hands, make sure paste coats all the crevices of each mushroom. Cover and chill 30 minutes.

    Step 5

    Meanwhile, beat whole wheat flour, 1½ cups (188 g) all-purpose flour, remaining ½ cup yogurt, remaining ½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or ¼ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ cup water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, starting on low speed then moving to high speed and adding another 1 Tbsp. water if dough is dry, until dough comes together into a ball around the hook, about 3 minutes.

    Step 6

    Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 6 balls (about 3 oz. each). Roll out each ball to a 7"-diameter disk, about ¼" thick. Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour and place flatbread on pan.

    Step 7

    Prepare a grill for medium heat. Working in batches if needed, grill flatbread until puffed up and charred in spots, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.

    Step 8

    Oil grate. Grill mushrooms until golden brown, charred around edges, and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side.

    Step 9

    To serve, spoon some mushrooms over each flatbread and top with yogurt sauce, drained pickled onion, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
