Ingredients

  • 1 cup mushroom sliced
  • 1/2 cup green peas
  • 1 medium sized big onion
  • 2 medium sized tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
  • 1 tablespoon cashews broken
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
  • 1 teaspoon kitchen king masala
  • 1 tablespoon coriander leaves for garnish
  • salt to taste

To temper:

  • 2 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

Instructions

  • Chop tomatoes roughly. Grind it to a smooth paste. Soak cashews in water for 15mins.
  • Then grind it to a smooth paste. Steam cook peas and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a pan - add jeera let it splutter.
  • Then add onion, ginger garlic paste and saute till slightly golden then add tomato puree and let it boil for 3mins till raw smell leaves.
  • Then add red chilli powder and garam masala powders.
  • Cook till the mixture turns dry and there is no raw smell of tomatoes.
  • Then add cashew paste. I used Everest Kitchen King Masala.
  • Add kitchen king masala, add little water and let the gravy boil.
  • Meanwhile dry saute mushrooms in another pan once it shrinks and starts leaving out water, switch off.
  • Now add sauted mushrooms and peas.
  • Let the gravy simmer for at least 8-10 mins in low flame. If it becomes too thick adjust by adding little water.
  • Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
  • Serve Matar Mushroom hot with phulkas or rice.

Notes

  • You can even add mushrooms as such but to retain its crunch I sautéed and added at the final stage.
  • I used fresh peas so steam cooked and added it. If you are using frozen peas then you can add it as such and cook.
  • Adding cashew paste gives a richness to the gravy.
  • As we are adding cashew paste, it suppresses the spice, so add more spice than for the usual gravies as mentioned. This gravy is medium spicy.
  • If you don't have kitchen king masala then proceed with garam masala alone, add little more than mentioned.
