Mushroom with peas
February 10th, 2009 filed under Dry Vegetables, Subji (Vegetables), Vegan
This is a great side dish consisting of mushrooms and peas in a spiced tomato curry with a touch of fenugreek leaves.
Serves 2 to 4.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of sliced mushrooms
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon shredded ginger
- 2 tablespoon chopped fenugreek leaves or dry fenugreek leaves (also known as kastoori mathi)
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds (jeera)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric (haldi)
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder (dhaniya)
- 1 teaspoon red pepper (adjust to taste)
- 3/4 teaspoons salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
- 1 finally chopped green chili (optional)
Method:
- Heat the oil in a saucepan on medium high heat. Test the heat by adding one cumin seed to the oil. If the cumin seed cracks right away, the oil is ready.
- Add the cumin seeds. As cumin seeds crack add turmeric. Stir-fry for a few seconds.
- Add tomatoes, ginger, salt, coriander, and chili powder. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and reduce to half.
- Add mushrooms, and peas. After coming to a boil reduce the heat to medium.
- Add fenugreek leaves after mushrooms have cooked half the way about 4 minutes.
- Cook until mushrooms and peas are tender. Close the heat.
- Add lemon juice and green chili if you like. Serve hot.
Notes:
- Dicing the tomatoes will give a different texture to the curry then tomato puree.
- Fenugreek leaves can be replaced with chopped cilantro (hara dhaniya).
- To add heat to this dish, garnish with finely chopped green chilies.

Mrs.Manjula,
First, I would like to say that I love your website. I’ve cooked many things from it already and I’m always looking at your recipes for more ideas for dinner.
As for this recipe, are you using raw green peas? Or can you just use frozen green peas from the grocery store?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi Deepti,
Many things can go wrong but make sure when you are separating the milk do not use extra lemon juice it makes the paneer very dry in texture and do knead the dough enough to make soft dough.
