SPICY MUSHROOM GRAVY

SPICY MUSHROOM GRAVY

This is a recipe i like to prepare on a rainy season when you can't go out, still you need a meaty taste from a veggie, perfect with steamed rice or can be used to make sandwiches. I tried preparing mushroom gravy in various method, but this is the one i find the best among all. It taste like a non vegetarian dish when you use the spices in right proportion

 

Clean the mushrooms by gently rubbing them using a paper towel or kitchen towel this would get rid of the dirt that might be sticking on to it. Do not wash the mushrooms, as the dirt will not be removed and you might lose the texture. In this recipe i used white mushrooms, you can use any variety of your choice but the cooking time varies, as certain mushroom varieties takes longer to cook.
