Instructions
- Start the instant pot in saute mode and heat oil in it. Add cumin seeds and saute for a minute until they sizzle.
- Add the onions and green chili. Cook for about 4 minutes until the onions turn golden. Then add ginger and garlic. Cook for another minute.
- While the onions are cooking, blend tomatoes to a puree. Once the onions are ready, add the tomato puree, spices and salt to the instant pot. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and green peas. Change the instant pot setting to manual/pressure cook mode on high pressure for 2 minutes.
- Once the instant pot beeps, quick release the pressure manually. Stir in the cream. Crush the fenugreek leaves between your palms and add to the instant pot. Give it a good stir.
- Garnish with cilantro. Mushroom Masala is ready to be served. Enjoy with roti or rice.
Stovetop Method
- When cooking on the stovetop, use a heavy bottom pan or dutch oven. Make sure to sauté the onions well for 4-5 minutes until they are golden brown in color. Then add ginger and garlic. Cook for another minute.
- Add the tomato puree, spices, and salt. Cook for another 3-4 minutes. When sautéing the pureed tomatoes, make sure all the liquid is dried and the masala has thickened.
- Then add the mushrooms, green peas, and water. Stir gently, and let it simmer for about 6-8 minutes, until the mushrooms and peas soften. Stir at regular intervals.
- Add the kasoori methi and cream. Roll the kasuri methi with your hand to make it a fine powder and add to the curry. Stir it all gently. Garnish with cilantro. Mushroom Matar is ready to serve.

Notes
- Make it vegan: skip the cream or replace with coconut milk. You can also blend some cashews with tomatoes to make this curry creamy.
- Tomato: For canned tomato puree, use 3/4 cup.
- Onion Tomato Masala: My onion tomato bhuna masala can be used to make this curry with just 10 minutes of active time. Use about ¾ cup of the masala in place of onions, tomatoes, ginger and garlic.
- Leftovers: Let the curry cool down completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
