Recipe- Spicy And Creamy Matar Mushroom

Matar Mushroom is a spicy onion tomato based creamy gravy with the richness of cashew paste.I always wanted to try Mushroom and Peas combo as I have seen and read it as a winning combination.

Ingredients

Mushroom – 1 cup sliced thin
Green Peas – 1/3 deshelled
Big Onion – 1 medium sized chopped finely
Tomatoes – 2
Ginger Garlic Paste – 1/2 tsp
Broken Cashews – 1 tbsp
Red Chilli Powder – 1/2 tsp – 2

Method

* 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 atleast 8-10mins in low flame.If it becomes too thick adjust by adding little water.Finally garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.
