Mushroom Makhani Recipe, Mushroom Matar Makhani Recipe

November 18, 2014 by maria 2 Comments

Mushroom Matar Makhani Recipe is a creamy gravy or sauce which could be eaten with naan, roti or rice. We usually make a lot of makhani recipes with paneer, chicken etc. So this time made the same gravy with mushrooms and peas (matar).

Anything to do with punjabi dishes I always want them more. So I fulfill my urges by making such dishes now and then and quite often. I am rhyming such is the magic of food 😉 specially punjabi cuisine.

Mushroom matar makhani recipe is easy to make. You could club them with jeera rice, butter naan, phulka, roti, salad or plain rice. Generally makhani gravy is suppose to be high with calories but once in a while it’s okay. You could reduce the cream portion, butter to make them low calorie and enjoy this delicious recipe.

This recipe is good option for vegetarians and people who aren’t fond of paneer. I could just binge on this sauce / gravy even if no veggies are there in it. My mouth is watering just writing about it.
