Mushroom Mutter Makhani

I like cute little things: Butterfly's, Bee's, Flowers, Birds, Babies and little veggies, whatever it maybe. They maybe little but help us in many ways and give pleasure to our eyes. If I think about little veggies, first thing that come to my mind is mushroom. I can't resist these cuties bringing home. I still remember the day,  I refused eating mushroom curry for the first time, but don't know when I fell in love with these beauties.

Today's recipe is Mushroom Mutter in Makhani gravy. We can add any vegetable or kofta to makhani gravy. Mushroom in this silky, delicious gravy will be prefect for any Indian bread and any flavored rice.
