a semi dry delicious vegetable dish made with peas and mushroom. i have already posted the recipes of mushroom matar curry recipe made in south indian style before. this recipe is more north indian style and also home style. usually i make matar mushroom this way. apart from this easy dish, i also make curry/gravy recipes with mushroom like kadai mushroom, palak mushroom, methi mushroom, chilli mushroom and so on. you can replace mushroom with paneer or cottage cheese. mushroom and paneer goes well with most veggies and are often used to make rich curry dishes for vegetarians. in many recipes you can easily replace mushroom with paneer and vice versa. this is one such recipe. if adding paneer, then just add them towards the end, once the peas are cooked and simmer for a couple of minutes.
