Matar Mushroom

I don't really like this dish because of mushrooms but my husband really relishes mushroom. I have been trying to make one of his liking but always failed until recently during my mother in laws visit, i saw her preparing that. I prepared it that way and it turned out yummy. He was also very happy. Now i have added some of my seasoning so that it turns out to be one like we get in Indian marriages and functions.
