Mushroom Masala Gravy


Mushroom masala is a delicious and popular north Indian curry made by preparing a medium spiced 'curry or gravy' base using fresh white-button mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, spices, and herbs. Later, the mushrooms are added into the curry. 

Just with few basic ingredients, you can make this restaurant-style mushroom masala gravy at home which is very easy to prepare and takes less time. 

Either spicy or gravy version of mushroom masala can be made. In this recipe, we will prepare the mushroom masala gravy instead of curry. You can also make a butter masala version by adding butter and fresh cream. 

The mushroom masala is one such recipe which is loved each time in my home without getting bored.
