Mushroom Peas Masala

White Mushrooms are high in protein, vitamin D and Vitamin B 12. White Mushrooms are low in

 calories and sugars. Mushrooms are best for those who want to start a plant based diet. Today I will

 be preparing Mushroom Peas Masala which goes very well with any mild pulao or roti. This recipe
