Step by step mushroom masala recipe

Mushroom masala is a delicious curry prepared with button mushrooms simmered in onion and tomato based gravy. These days I have become very fond of mushroom recipes and preparing them a lot. I feel I am getting obsessed with mushrooms recipes. As I have written in my previous post kadai mushroom that mushrooms are really healthy and a very good food option for those who are vegetarians or vegans. In this mushroom curry recipe I have not used any dairy product so its perfect for vegans. I have used bay leaves to make it aromatic but if you like you can add more whole spices like cloves, black pepper and green cardamom. This mushroom curry goes well with rice and phulka.

Now over to the recipe.
