The gravy or sauce in which the green peas and sauteed mushrooms are simmered holds the key to a great tasting dish. I have used cashew nuts and fresh cream which gives matar mushroom curry a smooth silky textured gravy and a rich flavor. Vegans can use coconut milk or cooked pumpkin puree instead of fresh cream.The only preparation work that takes a bit of your time is blanching tomatoes. You can use store bought tomato puree too.

If you want to serve this mushroom dish for a party, you can make the sauce or gravy, freeze it before hand and cook it in 15-20 minutes before your guests arrive. Few simple steps to follow are to roast the sliced mushrooms in ghee or butter till lightly browned and add it to the ready made sauce along with fresh green peas. Add some water and simmer for a few minutes before adding fresh cream. And before you know it, your matar mushroom sabzi is transformed into a delightful, flavorful curry.
