Mushroom Masala Recipe | Mushroom Recipes

My daughter is fond of mushrooms. Mushrooms are very nutritious, so we encourage her in that aspect and I keep trying different recipes using mushroom. Last week I prepared this mushroom masala for lunch and served it with Baby Corn Pulao. It can be served with Chappathi/rotis too.  Today I am going to share this mushroom masala recipe.
