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:

• mushroom manchurian
• mushroom curry recipe
• chilli mushroom
• kadai mushroom gravy recipe

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.

RECIPE TIPS

* 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.
