Mushroom Butter Masala
I made this couple days back and served with pulao, it turned out to be really delicious. I made the same gravy which I make for my butter chicken and butter paneer. The gravy is so good. It goes well with roti, pulao or naan.
The gravy is so simple, you can use this to add any veggies in this. Such an easy and fool proof base to try.
