Mushroom Malai Matar Recipe: Our mushroom malai matar recipe makes for a delicious dish that’s full of flavourful and enticing tastes.
As the name suggests, mushroom malai matar consists of mushrooms, matar (green peas), and malai (fresh cream), flavoured with aromatics, and thickened and enriched with almonds and cashew nuts to make a creamy, mildly spiced dish.
This mushroom malai matar recipe (also known as khumb malai matar recipe) is a simple and easy variation on the methi matar malai recipe, a popular north Indian dish found in restaurants and dhabas across the region, particularly in Delhi and Punjab. The original dish uses methi (fenugreek leaves, either fresh or dried in the form of kasuri methi), but this ingredient is absent in mushroom matar malai.
The chunky bite of the mushrooms, the freshness of the peas, the creamy richness of the almond and cashew nut paste, the subtle use of aromatics like garlic and ginger, and the delicate spice seasoning make this dish irresistible. It’s no wonder that malai matar mushroom is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and immensely popular as a main or side dish at parties and wedding feasts.
Our mushroom malai matar (creamy mushroom and peas) is not only rich and smooth, but also has complex notes from the red chilli, aromatics, whole spices, and garam masala. The almonds and cashew nuts give it a slightly nutty creamy sweetness. One bite and you’ll be asking for seconds.
Enjoy the delights of our easy mushroom malai matar recipe on any weeknight by following our easy and simple recipe to recreate this restaurant-style dish at home. The advantage of cooking in your own kitchen is that you can control the amount of malai you want to use.
Serve matar mushroom malai with roti, chapati, phulka, garlic naan, tawa paratha, and poori, or with plain rice or pulao. Boondi raita and pickled onions are good accompaniments.
