Dhingri Matar ( Mushroom With Peas )

Dhingri Matar, Matar khumb or Mushroom Peas are the different name of this dish but as far as taste is concern, its always finger licking, inviting and very delicious. Mushroom will always be there in my fridge as Avi likes Mushroom alot. Yesterday I was running out of veggies, only mushroom and peas were there so I thought to try Dhingri Matar in restaurant style. The outcome was almost similar. I'm saying almost because I did not add cream, if you'll add cream then it will taste same as what you get in restaurant.
