Servings2
Ingredients
- 1 cup mushroom (sliced)
- ½ cup green peas
- 1 medium sized big onion
- 2 medium sized tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon cashews broken
- ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
- ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder
- 1 teaspoon kitchen king masala
- 1 tablespoon coriander leaves for garnish
- salt to taste
To temper
- 2 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
Instructions
- Chop tomatoes roughly. Grind it to a smooth paste. Soak cashews in water for 15 minutes.
- 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 3 minutes 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 minutes 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
- Sauté Mushrooms Separately - Mushrooms release their moisture when cooked. Saute them on high flame so they get the umami flavor.
- Use fresh Matar – Winter peas are fresh and sweet. If you are using frozen peas, thaw and cook them before adding them to the gravy.
- Cook in low flame – Ensure the onion tomato base gravy is cooked well for a restaurant flavor. No masala can match the slow cooking process.
- Kasuri Methi – Don’t forget to add a pinch of these flavorful dried leaves.
- Balance the water – Add water to the gravy if required. Mushrooms will release their moisture.
- Creamy Texture – You can add extra cashew paste to the gravy or a spoonful of cream for the additional creaminess.
