Restaurant-style tasty gravy with mushroom and peas. Mushroom matar masala is prepared with onion-tomato base gravy.
Writing a Guest post is always exciting. When Beula from EaterSpot asked me to do a Guest post, I accepted happily. The joy was doubled when she told me it was for celebrating Indian Independence day!
Few words about EaterSpot, in Beula's own words:
"I began blogging in March 2010 purely because of boredom. I moved from the US to New Zealand, had a full time job, was newly married but wanted to do more stuff ... thus my food blogging journey began. Over on my blog EATERSPOT, I share about recipes that have been part of my family and new recipes as well based on my current cravings or menu planning.
I've got non-vegetarian, vegetarian, Indian recipes and recipes from different cuisines, vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo and some kids recipes too :)"

Mushroom Peas Masala | Matar Mushroom Gravy
Ingredients
- Button Mushroom – 200 grams
- Frozen Peas – 1/2 cup
- Onion – 1 big finely chopped
- Tomato – 2
- Ginger - 1 tbsp
- Garlic - 3
- Garam Masala powder- 1 tsp
- Kitchen king Masala - 1/2 tsp
- Chilli powder – 1 tsp
- Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp
- Cumin powder – 1/4 tsp
- Milk - 1/4 cup
- Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
- Cinnamon Powder – 1/4 tsp
- Salt – as needed
- To temper:
- Oil – 1 tsp
- Cardamom – 2 pods
- Bay leaf -1
Instructions
- Wash the Mushroom well with hot water and keep it soaked in water (As mushroom turns to oxidise, I added a pinch of turmeric powder in water to prevent them changing color)
- Boil onion, garlic, ginger and tomato in hot water and strain the water. When it comes to room temperature, blend them into fine paste
- Add oil to the pan. Add bay leaf and cardamom after the oil becomes little hot. Add the blended tomato and onion puree and cook for 5-6 minutes. Add garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, chilli powder, turmeric powder and allow it to cook for 3-4
- Add the mushroom, peas and salt. Saute well for 10 minutes
- Add cinnamon powder and milk and let it cook for 3-5 minutes
Notes
- I didn’t add water while cooking mushroom, as there was enough moisture, but you can sprinkle little water if required
- Instead of milk, you can add 3 tablespoon of curd or 2 tablespoon of fresh cream/whipping cream
- If you are using a cinnamon stick, add it while tempering
- This gravy goes well with any variety rice like fried rice/ pulao as well as with naan/rotis
- boiled the onions and blended them, as it will save time while cooking. Instead, you can also sauté the onions
Method:
- Wash the Mushroom well with hot water and keep it soaked in water (As mushroom turns to oxidise, I added a pinch of turmeric powder in water to prevent them changing color)
