MUSHROOM MASALA| MUSHROOM MASALA GRAVY|MUSHROOM RECIPES

When i recently started cooking mushrooms, i wanted to try out a mushroom masala , after the super hit of the Kadai mushroom at my house. I almost followed the same procedure of my Baby Corn Masala . This kadai mushroom gravy was a super hit again and we all enjoyed with rotis. Last week when i tried this for the first time we had with Jeera rice and it was quite well too. So today let me share the recipe of how to make Mushroom masala gravy.

    1. Generally you get kasoori methi in super markets. It is nothing but the dried methi leaves (vendaya keerai) Sun dry the vendayakeerai and store in a dry box

  21. Jeyashri, I try your south indian recipes and they come up very very good but yesterday I made mushroom masala just as the recipe says - it did not come out good - It might be because of my store bough coriander and cumin powder or salt quantity i dont know. Can you please include salt quantity as well in the future? thank you !

    1. Srivi,
      Don't know where you went wrong. Giving measurement for salt is a bit difficult practically. Hope you understand
