About the dish

Matar mushroom is a traditional dish made with mushrooms and green peas as the main ingredients. Other ingredients include onions, tomatoes, ginger-garlic paste, green chili peppers, cumin, oil, garam masala spices, turmeric, coriander, and red chili powder. The gravy is prepared first, while the peas, mushrooms, and turmeric are added to the pot near the end of cooking. The combination is simmered until done, and the dish is often garnished with chopped coriander leaves. It’s recommended to serve this vegan dish with jeera rice and roti or chapati flatbread on the side. Matar mushroom can be prepared in two versions – dry curry or gravy, depending on personal preferences. It’s especially popular during winter, when fresh peas are in season.
