This is one of my favorite Mushroom recipes. The juicy mushrooms along with the sweetness of peas in spicy, tangy and creamy onion tomato gravy makes it so delicious.
This Indian curry goes well with lachha paratha, tandoori roti, tawa roti or naan. I even like to pair it with some steamed rice and onion salad.
