Mushroom Masala Recipe Tips

  • Do clean your mushrooms well before cooking.
  • To keep the gravy nice and thick, you only want to add the amount of liquid I have given as mushrooms will also release some liquid whilst cooking.
  • You can use almonds instead of cashews to make your mushroom gravy.
