Mushroom Masala
I have always wanted my gravy to taste like the one in restaurants. But I have never got that. Finally, with this mushroom masala, I got both the smell and taste as i want it to be. I got this mushroom recipe from my sister. She is a good cook and shares a lot of good recipes with me. I have not used tomatoes in this gravy. But for other dishes, you can follow the same method and just add the tomato puree to it so that you will get the desired taste for your gravy. You can also shred some cheese over it if you want a rich and delicious gravy. Ingredients: Mushroom – 220 g Chopped onion – 2 cups Garlic cloves – 4 Ginger – 1″ Green chillies – 2 Cashew nut paste – 3 tbsp...
