matar mushroom recipe with step by step photos – a semi dry delicious vegetable dish made with peas and mushroom. i have already posted the recipes of mushroom matar curry recipe made in south indian style before.

this recipe is more north indian style and also home style. usually i make matar mushroom this way. apart from this easy dish,  i also make curry or gravy recipes with mushroom like:

you can replace mushroom with paneer or cottage cheese. mushroom and paneer goes well with most veggies and are often used to make rich curry dishes for vegetarians.  in many recipes you can easily replace mushroom with paneer and vice versa. this is one such recipe.

if adding paneer, then just add them towards the end, once the peas are cooked and simmer for a couple of minutes.

you can have this matar mushroom with rotis, parathas, naan or as a side dish with dal tadka – rice or dal fry – rice combo. this peas mushroom curry is vegan as well as gluten free.

if you are looking for veggie recipes then do check dry aloo matar, matar paneer, aloo matar, green peas masala and mushroom manchurian.

ingredients (1 cup = 250 ml)

  • 200 grams button mushrooms
  • 2/3 or ¾ cup fresh or frozen peas (matar) *check notes
  • 3 medium sized tomatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green chili, chopped (hari mirch)
  • ¼ or ½ teaspoon red chili powder (lal mirch powder)
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder (haldi)
  • ¼ or ½ teaspoon garam masala powder or punjabi garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon coriander powder (dhania powder)
  • 1.5 teaspoon ginger garlic paste OR crushed ginger-garlic
  • 2 cups water or as required. reduce the amount of water to 1 cup if using tender or frozen peas * check notes
  • 2 to 3 tablespoon oil
  • salt as required

how to make recipe

  1. heat oil in a pan or kadai. add the finely chopped onions and saute till translucent.
  2. add crushed ginger-garlic or ginger-garlic paste. saute till the raw aroma disappears.
  3. add the chopped tomatoes and green chilies.
  4. stir and then add the spice powders - turmeric, red chilli, coriander powder.
  5. stir and saute till oil starts to leave the sides of the onion-tomato masala mixture.
  6. add the chopped mushrooms and peas.

  7. stir and saute for 2 to 3 mins. then add water and salt. add water as required. if using tender or frozen peas, then reduce the water to 1 cup. if using peas which are not tender or old, then add 2 cups of water or as required. 

  8. in case there is too much water even after the peas or mushrooms are cooked, then reduce the water by simmering the matar mushroom curry without a lid for some more minutes till you get the desired consistency. 

  9. in case the water become less, then add some more water. the consistency is a semi dry gravy or curry. so before the gravy reaches this consistency, the peas and mushrooms should be cooked well. so add water or reduce the water from the matar mushroom gravy accordingly.

  10. cover the pan with a lid and cook till the peas are softened.
  11. once done, sprinkle garam masala powder.
  12. stir and serve matar mushroom hot with rotis, naan or chapatis.

recipe notes

* on peas and water - if using tender peas of frozen peas then you can follow the method which i have mentioned. reduce the amount of water as tender peas or frozen peas will get cooked quickly. i have added 2 cups of water as the peas i added were taking a lot of time to cook. you can also pre cook or steam the peas before hand and then add to the gravy, once the mushrooms are done.

  14. Hi Dasanna,
    You know what? I love your recipes, I cook everyday watching your recipes,
    I was looking for simple recipe everywhere till now until I found you and these Days I search on Google like this ” mushroom recipe by dassana” or whatever I want to cook on daily basis , you are truly a good talented cook, I liked few recipe from Sanjay Tumma and only one recipe from Sanjeev kapoor, rest all my likes goes to you. Keep up the good work.

  15. Dassana, you’re a life saver!

    Your recipes are delicious and easy to make. Now even I like what I’m cooking!

    Thank you so much for posting. And explaining so well!

  16. This is such a delicious recipe – I also put very little khoya in it for a little richness and sweetness 🙂 Beautiful pics !

  17. Lovely recipe. Saw some lovely chestnut mushrooms at the greengrocer yesterday and then found your recipe. Had it with dal and rice and a coconut sambal. Thank you

  18. I have been wanting to cook more indian food for a long time now but was always very intimidated. My mom is an amazing indian cook so anything I tried never matched up. I randomly found your blog yesterday and I tried this subji along with yellow dal. AMAZING and your recipe is so easy to follow! You gave me the confidence I needed to keep experimenting. Thank you so much! I will be a following your blog very closely now, keep posting!

  19. I tried this recipe, taste was good but my consistency was too watery in-spite of using your mentioned 2 cups (200 ml cup), and like you have mentioned to simmer without the lid if gravy has more water but i still couldn’t attain the semi dry gravy like in the picture.
    P.S. I have not used tender or frozen peas! 🙁

    • hmmm. frozen peas take less time to cook than fresh peas. as the gravy was watery. if you had continued to cook for some more time, then the water would have for sure reduced. when such things happen, always cook on a medium to high flame for the water to evaporate. in fact i have mentioned in the notes section to add less water if using frozen peas.

  20.
