Mushroom mutter is a delicious blend of diced mushrooms and peas. This Indian mushroom recipe comes with a rich and creamy gravy. This probably is one of the rare Indian curry recipes that is not spicy. Mushroom mutter is basically a North Indian recipe. The gravy is made with minimum spices to retain the delicate flavour of mushrooms.

If you want to make this Indian mushroom recipe into a low fat treat, use beaten yoghurt instead of fresh cream to thicken the gravy of peas and mushrooms.
