I make this gravy when i make Chappathi/Roti and sometimes i make this as a side dish gravy for Jeera Rice. My husband also loves this dish and trust me Capsicum flavour tastes great with mushrooms.The blending of capsicum and mushrooms gives a different taste and it is really yummy!!!!!!!!!!!

10.)Mix the whole gravy well and after adding mushrooms , you keep checking the gravy because mushrooms get cooked very fast. 

Now Hot and Tasty Mushroom Capsicum Vegetable Gravy is ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Note:

1.)Do not add salt after adding mushrooms as they have the tendency of catching salt very quickly. If you clean the mushrooms in salt water check the salt and then add because while washing itself mushrooms will catch salt .

2.)If you want you can add potato to this gravy.

3.)You can follow the same process in microwave owen also.Just after keeping the mushrooms,keep only 10 mins while closing the lid.

4.)When you taste this, you will get a closer taste to chettinad dishes.

5.)If you want a strong flavour, you can add garlic to this.

Serve this gravy with Roti/Chappathi or Jeera Rice or just steamed basmati rice!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bon Appetit!!!!!!!!

Ishwarya Balaji!!!!!!!!!!!!
