a flavorful gravy made from onions, tomatoes,  and a variety of spices like cumin, coriander,  

and garam masala. It's a popular vegetarian  option often enjoyed with naan or rice and is  

known for its hearty, satisfying  nature despite being meat-free.

Mushrooms are crucial to Dhingri Matar for several  reasons. First, they provide a meaty, umami  

character to the dish, giving it a depth of flavor  that makes it stand out among vegetarian options.

Their earthy tones also harmonize well with  the vibrant spices and herbs, making the dish  

a well-balanced culinary experience. Second,  the texture of mushrooms offers a contrast to  

the softness of the peas, adding complexity to  each bite. Lastly, mushrooms soak up the rich,  

spicy gravy, becoming little vessels that  deliver intense flavor. In Dhingri Matar,  

mushrooms are not just an ingredient;  they're the essence that elevates the dish.
