Few easy steps for this Vegan Gravy

Secondly, I cooked mushrooms until the juices were released and completely cooked.

Later, I added mustard powder and flour and after that I mixed it well.

Afterwards, I stirred in the remaining ingredients. Then, I let it cook on a medium flame for 10 -15 minutes or until it thickened.

Expert tips:

• Use whole Baby Bella and then mince it just like we chop cilantro. It should be as fine as possible, that’s why I am stressing over the word minced.
• For quick crushed garlic, I always use mortar and pestle. Its mess free and easy as well.
• Cook the gravy at a medium flame stirring at intervals to avoid any overflow. However, one trick to avoid overflow is to lower the flame immediately once it starts to boil and reaches the top. Another trick that I frequently apply is to insert a spatula in the pan while cooking. This trick always comes in handy to avoid overflow of the liquid. However, do not use plastic spatula for this purpose. Try to use wooden, steel or silicon spatulas for this purpose.

Frequently asked questions:

• Store this gravy in an air tight glass container for about a week.
• As a thickener Cornstarch or flour works best for this vegan gravy. However, I used regular flour here for convenience. You may use gluten free flour or whole wheat flour as well.
• This gravy is not restricted to mashed potatoes only. It pairs well with mashed cauliflower or whole roasted cauliflower steak or on any roasted vegetable.
• I have provided my personal recipe of mashed potatoes in the recipe card under notes for your convenience.

I am sure by now you must be drooling over this recipe. So, don’t wait, make and enjoy this as a side dish with your family.
