As you know by now Mushroom is my favourite, I also like to make – Mushroom Masala, Restaurant Style Mushroom Tikka Masala, Badami Khumbi and Dhingri Dolma.

What is Dhingri Matar?

Dhingri Matar, which is also called as Matar Mushroom Masala is a North Indian curry which has all the goodness of Mushrooms and Green Peas. The base of this curry is made with tomato and onion which is spiced with everyday spices such as coriander powder, turmeric powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, roasted cumin powder and garam masala powder.

The addition of cream and kasuri methi in the end, gives it a creamy and rich taste, which is hard to resist. I sometimes also likes to skip cream and kasuri methi and keep this curry simple.

For its best taste, serve this delectable curry along with some hot and flaky Laccha Parathas. You can serve it with any Indian Bread of your choice, as it tastes great with everything. You can bene substitute Mushrooms with Paneer, Aloo, Kaju etc to make a inviting curry.
