• Heat oil in a pan. Add mushrooms to it. Saute till the mushroom is cooked and after that take it out.
• Add some oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add chopped onions to it. When they are translucent, add Ginger-Garlic paste. 
• After a second, add ground tomatoes.
• When the tomato puree is cooked,  add chopped capsicum.
• Saute for some time, and then add ground masala, enough salt, turmeric powder and water.
• When the gravy is half done, add sauteed mushrooms. Mix it well.
• Take dried kasthuri Methi leaves between your palms. Crush  it and add to the gravy.
• Cook the gravy in low flame, till everything gets blended well. Switch of the flame and add Garam Masala Powder to the gravy.

• Enjoy with chapathi or roti of your choice.
