Finish and Garnish
To make this dish vegan, use a neutral oil instead of ghee and either omit the fresh cream or substitute it with a plant-based cream like cashew or coconut cream.
For a heartier curry, add 150g of cubed paneer along with the mushrooms and peas. Lightly fry the paneer cubes in a little oil before adding for an improved texture.
Increase the number of green chilies or add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder along with the other spices for extra heat.
Mushrooms, particularly button mushrooms, contain selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect body cells from damage and supports the immune system.
Green peas are an excellent source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, which aids in digestion, promotes satiety, and helps manage blood sugar levels.
This curry is relatively low in calories and fat, making it a suitable choice for those managing their weight, without compromising on flavor or satisfaction.
Yes, Mushroom Matar is a nutritious dish. Mushrooms are low in calories and a good source of B vitamins and selenium. Green peas provide fiber, protein, and essential vitamins. The dish is relatively low in fat, especially if you use oil instead of ghee and limit the cream.
A standard serving (about 1 cup) of Mushroom Matar contains approximately 150-200 calories, depending on the amount of oil/ghee and cream used. This makes it a great option for a light yet satisfying meal.
Absolutely! Frozen peas work perfectly in this recipe and are often sweeter and more tender than some fresh varieties. You can add them directly to the curry without thawing.
To thicken the gravy, you can simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes to allow excess water to evaporate. Alternatively, adding a paste of blended cashews (as mentioned in the tips) will naturally thicken the curry and add richness.
Mushroom Matar pairs wonderfully with Indian breads like roti, chapati, naan, or paratha. It also goes well with steamed basmati rice or jeera rice.
