Mushroom masala|How to make simple mushroom masala

A favourite in my kitchen,Mushroom masala is easily the fastest and most delicious way of using mushrooms.

Button mushrooms are always stocked up in my freezer.I love to use them in pizzas and pastas and salads and this yummy dish.This is my mothers recipe which has been modified by me to make it more flavoursome.I have added milk to give it a more creamy texture.Milk can be replaced by low fat cream too.
This is one comfort food which I go back to often.
