South Indian Mushroom Peas Curry | Pattani Curry
Mushroom & peas curry recipe with step by step photos – here’s a rich and delicious recipe of South Indian mushroom and peas curry. the curry is full on with flavors of coconut & cashews along with the flavors of mushrooms and peas.
Both mushrooms and peas are favorite veggies at home, so their combo is always welcome. usually I make a simple semi dry dish with Mushrooms and peas in the typical North Indian style, bhunaoing/sauting the onion and tomatoes with the rest of the spices. For the first time I made this curry and it was great
This mushroom & peas curry recipe has been adapted from jiggs kalra’s book “Prashad – cooking with Indian masters“. In the book the dish is called as Bataani kaal kari, Where Bataani is the telugu word for peas. In tamil language this curry would be called Pattani kalan curry.
Basically the mushroom curry is a korma curry. Thus goes very well with plain steamed rice. I had made jeera rice to go along with it, but later realized both the mushroom & peas curry and jeera rice together were not a good combination.
The aromatic jeera rice was overpowering the subtle taste of the coconut and cashew in the curry. so when you make this South Indian curry serve either with steamed rice or rotis-chapatis or the Kerala paratha or a plain paratha. most of the recipes I post are often in the step by step format. So is this curry. so enjoy the pics.
