Mushroom Capsicum masala

Mushroom and capsicum combination has a different taste because I made it masala type, which has a spicy taste. A spicy gravy with mushrooms and capsicums that goes well with chapatis. They satisfy my taste buds and I get a feeling of having an exotic lunch at home without much effort and more importantly, without many vessels to wash.

6. Switch off the flame immediately and saute for a minute. Yummy mushroom masala is all ready to be served with soft phulkas.

Serve it with roti, parotta, or plain rice.

Notes

If you do not prefer a gravy or semi gravy consistency, then you can skip adding more water.

Just a sprinkle of water to help the mushrooms get cooked is enough.
