Matar mushroom Sabzi recipe

Matar mushroom recipe – a dry vegetable dish made from marinated mushrooms and green peas.

This dry matar mushroom is healthy yet delicious. It is home style recipe that goes perfect with roti or paratha. It is dry or semi-dry kind of dish. I have already shared the gravy version of mushroom matar.

In this recipe, I have marinated the mushrooms in yogurt and spices for some time. Trust me a touch yogurt in marination makes the huge difference in flavors. I have tried without marinating mushrooms as well. That way it also tastes good. But try it once with marinated mushrooms. You will sure love it.
