Mushroom with Green Peas/Mushroom Matar Masala

Mushrooms are rich in nutrients, mainly Vitamin D. Vegetables with Vitamin D are very rare and if you are a vegetarian then this is your perfect source for Vitamin D. Consuming it at least once in a week  is good for health. Mushrooms go well with green peas and I prepared this classic dish of North India- Mushroom Matar Masala.

Ingredients:

• Mushrooms- 1 pack ( around 250 grams)
• Fresh or frozen peas- 3/4 cup
• Onion- 1
• Tomato- 2
• Garlic- 2 cloves
• Green Chilly- 2-3
• Cumin seeds- 1/2 tbs
• Garam masala for flavoring and aroma ( a generous pinch)
• Coriander leaves for decoration

Preparation:

1. Clean and chop mushrooms  into halves and keep aside
2. In a deep pan fry green chillies, garlic, onion and tomato. Grind it into smooth paste.
3. In the same pan add little oil and cumin seeds let it splutter
4. Now add the ground paste and add salt and garam masala and mix for few seconds
5. Add chopped mushrooms and green peas add 2 tbs of water if required
6. Let it boil for few minutes until mushrooms are done (it takes around 4 to 5 minutes at max)
7. Decorate it with chopped coriander leaves and serve it hot with roti or fresh bread
