SPICY MUSHROOM AND GREEN PEAS CURRY

Mushrooms contain protein, fiber, and Vitamin B. They have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Mushrooms prevent damage to cells and tissues. Supports our immune system. 

In particular, white button mushrooms are one of the few non-animal sources of vitamin D. When they are grown, whether indoor or outdoor, they are exposed to UV light which increases their concentration of vitamin D.

All mushrooms are fungi and they produce spores, similar to pollen or seeds, which allow them to spread or travel by the wind. The rest of the mushroom then matures, typically living in soil or wood. 

There are many different types of mushrooms. Some of which are  edible such as button, oyster, porcini, and chanterelles.

In the same pan add a little ghee, transfer the puree and let it simmer for another 10 minutes on a low-medium heat until the oil starts separating from the gravy.

Notes:

Mushroom and Green Peas Curry is a very delicious and rich vegetarian curry. Goes great with naan, paratha, and chapati.

Usually, in restaurants the Mushroom Curry is cooked with a generous amount of oil and cream at the end. Here, I’ve created the same taste in 1/3 amount of oil , using my own cooking skills.
