(10) Saute till the Mushrooms are cooked. It would take about 10 minutes on a low flame. Mushrooms release water while cooking, so no need to add additional water. We can cook in the water released itself.
(11) By the end of 10 minutes, add crushed Kasuri Methi leaves and mix well. Cook for another 3-5 minutes on a low flame.
(Sorry I don't have the picture for this step).

The Mushroom Butter Masala (Dry) is ready.
(13) Serve the Mushroom Butter Masala Dry in a serving bowl.
(14) This vegetable dish goes well with Roti / Chapatis / Phulkas and as a side dish with Dal Rice combo.
