Mushroom Gravy Recipe | Side Dish Recipes

Simple, easy and yummy side dish for mushroom lovers prepared in less than 30 minutes. This goes well with chappathi. It is mild, fresh and nutritious with mushroom's. I make these at least once in a week, though my DH doesn't take mushrooms. He is happy with the plain gravy as it is very delicious even without mushrooms.
