Matar mushroom recipe

By swasthi , on January 12, 2020, 21 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Matar mushroom is a Indian curry made with green peas, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes & spices. In India cuisine, we make a lot of dishes with green peas especially during the winters when fresh peas are in season. Matar mushroom is one of those common dishes served not only in Indian restaurants but is also made in many homes.

    Fantastic dish! My wife and I loved it, we kept the chili 🌶 down figuring we can always add fresh chili as a garnish.

    Thank you so much!
