Mushroom Peas Masala

Mushroom and Peas always a great combo, which tastes great when we add this combo in Biriyani’s, Pulao’s, Gravies and Curries. Mushroom Peas Masala / Dhingri Matar Masala / Mushroom Mutter Masala, Whatever it is called, all refers to the same thing, is a yummy and delicious gravy, which goes best with Roti’s, Naan’s, Phulka’s and Chapathis.

Wash and clean the green peas. Pressure cook it with 1/2 a cup of water exactly for 2 whistles. Once the pressure is released, strain the excess water and keep it aside.

Wash and clean the mushrooms. If the stem of the mushroom is too thick, cut and discard it. If it is normal in size, simply chop the mushroom into two halves. The stem in the mushroom I bought was too thick and so I just cut and discarded it. Peel the top layer skin of the mushroom and discard it. Then just cut the mushroom into two halves and keep it aside.

Heat oil in a pan. When it is hot, add aniseeds and let it splutter and do not burn it. Reduce the flame to medium and add onion paste slowly to the pan. Then add ginger garlic paste to it. Keep frying the onion paste in medium flame until the paste shrinks to half of its quantity but keep in mind not to burnt it.

Then add tomato paste and keep frying for 2 or 3 minutes in medium flame itself. Then add the dry powders one by one – turmeric powder, and chilly powder.

Add chopped coriander leaves and now cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook well in medium flame until the water is absorbed well and the vegetables are cooked and  it reaches a gravy consistency and it took 7 to 8 minutes for me.
