mushroom matar makhani recipe | mushroom matar curry recipe

mushroom matar makhani recipe with step by step photos - a recipe made with makhani gravy or sauce is always looked forward for lunch or dinners.

sometimes i prepare the makhani recipe with veggies and sometimes with paneer/cottage cheese. the popular tried and tested makhani recipes on the blog are – paneer butter masala, paneer makhanwala and paneer makhani.

like all my recipes, this method of preparing mushroom matar makhani is slightly different. this is a smooth tomato and cream based gravy. you can also just use this recipe as a base and skip either peas or mushroom. different vegetables can be also added. either you steam them or saute them before you add to the gravy/sauce.

the amount of butter and cream added in this recipe is less. just about 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp low fat cream. the creaminess comes from ground cashews and tomatoes. i have also added ground onions in this recipe. the rest of the ingredients are more or less the same as added in a makhani gravy.

mushroom mata makhani is best served with tandooris rotis, naan or even with whole wheat rotis. this recipe can also be made on special occasions.

there is also a homely and easy punjabi mushroom peas recipe on the blog which is an everyday curry. another popular curry with a south indian touch is the mushroom peas curry.

lets start step by step mushroom matar makhani recipe:

1. heat oil in a pan and add the mushrooms.

2. the mushroom would release their juices first.

3. when the juices dry up and the the oil is seen, saute the mushroom further till they get light golden at the edges. remove them and keep aside.

4. in the same pan which the mushrooms were sauted, add 1 tbsp butter. add bay leaf and saute for a few seconds.

5. add the onion-ginger-garlic paste.

6. saute stirring often till the paste becomes golden.

7. then add the tomato-cashew paste. this is a thick and smooth paste. remember to ground the cashews very well. there should be no small bits of cashews in it. stir and  saute.

8. still stirring and sauting the paste.

9. saute, stirring till the oil begins to leave the sides of the paste. add all the spice powders – red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala and coriander powder.

10. stir and saute for 2-3 minutes more. the whole mixture would come together as one mass with the fat being seen at the sides.
