The Matar Mushroom recipe makes a delicious vegetarian meal with creamy textured gravy reminiscent of a restaurant curry sauce. It is delicious when served with rice or roti, and it takes less than 20 minutes to prepare this simple gravy.

An iconic North Indian curry, Mushroom Matar combines mushrooms and green peas for maximum flavor. But this matar mushroom recipe is vegan. But that does not alter its flavours at all. 

Based on tomato and onion, the curry is seasoned with a variety of simple spices, making it easy to prepare and consume regularly.

A creamy and rich flavor is achieved by adding cream and coriander leaves at the end.

When making this curry on a weekday, I sometimes prefer to skip the cream and coriander leaves to keep it simple. 

When you’re out of vegetables, make this recipe with green peas and mushrooms, which freeze well. These two key ingredients are enough to fill your desperate cravings.

This post covers the step-by-step recipe for lip-smacking and your truly favorite creamy mushroom recipe.

Ingredients in Matar Mushroom Recipe 

  • Mushrooms: This vegetable is packed with nutrients and should be part of every household. Normally, I make this curry with white button mushrooms. In any case, you may use any mushroom you can find.
  • Matar: Mushrooms and peas make a wonderful combination, and this dish is flavored with matar, which adds a light sweetness to the dish. You can use either fresh or frozen Matar.
  • Spices: Making Matar mushrooms only requires a few spices, such as, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder,and garam masala powder. Combining these spices makes the curry spicy and masala dal, adding a great taste.
  • Coconut Milk: This gives this curry a rich, creamy texture and immediately lifts its flavor. If you are making it for everyday meals, you can also leave it out.
