Wash and cut mushroom into four pieces. In a pan add water and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Bring it to boil and add mushroom. Let it boil for 3 minutes. This process will remove the raw smell of mushroom.
Step 2
While mushroom is boiling. Heat pan on medium heat and add oil. In hot oil add bay leaves, dry red chilies and cumin seeds. Add chopped ginger, green chili and stir for 10 seconds. Add chopped onion and cook till onion turns soft and translucent. Add crushed garlic, adding garlic at this point will give prominent flavor of garlic in matar mushroom masala. Add ½ tsp ginger paste and sauté for 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add chopped tomato and stir well. Cook tomato till it becomes soft. After 2 minute add tomato paste and cook for a minute. At this point of time you will see oil has started separating. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chili powder. Mix everything and let the spices cook for 1 ½ minute. Add frozen peas, boiled mushroom and sauté. Add salt to taste, black pepper powder and garam masala powder. If you want to make it dry do not add water. I am making matar mushroom curry so it needs water. Add 450 ml water and stir well.
