Mushroom Butter Masala (Lunch and Dinner Foods)

Mushroom Butter Masala is a rich and creamy, delicious Indian dish with full of flavors that is perfect accompaniment for steamed rice or bread varieties like naan, roti, pita bread or even dosas.

This is very popular Indian dish and is available in almost all Indian restaurants. You can substitute mushroom with paneer (tofu) , Gobi (Cauliflower), babycorn or even chicken in this recipe. Some even call this dish as Mushroom Makhani gravy.
