Matar Mushroom Masala, peas(matar) and mushrooms cooked in bhuna masala.

Matar Mushroom Masala is a North Indian dish that tastes best with fresh seasonal green peas, but you can make it with frozen peas also, as the fresh ones are not available throughout the year. A curry without butter or cream and yet so delcious rich and creamy!!

To make this curry I have used Bhuna Masala for gravy base. Bhuna masala is a spicy onion and tomato gravy that forms the base of many Indian curries and gravies like Rajma Masala, Chole Masala and many more. Making any dish gets a lot easier if you have bhuna masala in refrigerator. Check out the detailed post here on Bhuna Masala(updating soon).

The curry has rustic taste and goes well with any Indian bread. Paranthas, Naan, and even pooris.

Mushrooms are rich in proteins and minerals. Though these are white in color but these are an excellent source of antioxidants. Low in calories and almost negligible fat value makes these a must include in diet for weight watchers and people on low cholesterol and sugar diets.

Peas come under legume category and are rich source of proteins and have high fibre content.. These are also a great source of antioxidants, minerals and vitamins.

Ingredients for Matar Mushroom Masala..

Button Mushroom, Fresh/Frozen Peas and Bhuna Masala.

You can also use store bought bhuna masala , but I prefer using my homemade masala.

If you are allergic to mushrooms, substitute with Tofu.

How to cook Matar Mushroom Masala..

The curry can be made in open pot and also on stove-top pressure cooker and Instant Pot. This post I am covering the Instant Pot version.

It just takes a few minutes to make this delcious curry in Instant Pot when you have bhuna masala ready. Open pot method takes some time as peas may take a little long to cook.

For Stove-top Pressure cooker version, make curry with bhuna masala and spices, add peas and mushrooms and cover with lid and cook till 2 whistles. Add very little water around 1/4 as mushrooms leaves water when cooked.

Let's see how I make Matar Mushroom Masala..

    Keeping that bhuna masala handy seems like a great idea to cut down the time while preparing north Indian curries. The curry is a good one for those who love mushrooms.
