We made the Mushroom Matar (Pattani) Kurma recipe based on the video from Chef Deena. It came out really awesome. The instructions were in Tamil language, turn on subtitles for instructions in English.

I made a couple of changes to the recipe.
a. After all the onion, spices, tomatoes were cooked, I made a coarse paste with them. This allows all the spices to be ground and integrated with the gravy.
b. I added above gravy and then added the coconut and cashew nut paste, added the mushroom and peas, boiled for a few minutes.
c. I sliced the fresh mushrooms and boiled them in a separate saucepan with some water, so they cook and become tender.
d. Since I used frozen organic green peas, I placed the peas in a porcelain bowl, added water and drained the water. Next, I added some water to the peas and microwaved for 2 minutes so they were cooked and soft.
