Easy and delicious Mushroom Mutter Masala or Mushroom Peas Curry made in Instant Pot or Pressure Cooker. This vegan and gluten free Mushroom Matar Masala is perfect for a delicious warm weeknight dinner!
Mushrooms, also known as kukkarmuta and khumbi in hindi are a source of powerful nutrients. They are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free, gluten-free, and very low in sodium, yet they provide important nutrients, including potassium, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin D and more. Mushrooms historically have not been as common in the Indian household, but growing in popularity.
Another good thing about mushrooms is that they cook very quickly. Even more quickly in an Instant Pot. I use them frequently in curries, omelets, and pastas. For this recipe, I have used white button mushrooms. Just chop them and add them to a creamy onion-tomato gravy. They are delicious and you will love them. Serve this curry with rice, roti or naan.
Another very easy recipe is Mutter Paneer Masala, check it out here.

February 23, 2018 at 4:07 pmI actually have a question, and am so excited to try this recipe! I read your instructions, and it says to grind the tomatoes into a paste. When i read anything about tomato paste, it means extracting a lot of the juices, and seeds. Is that what you mean? Or do you mean to literally just grind the tomatoes into a mushy broken up form of itself? I just want to make sure I’m doing this right, because I’m soooo excited to try it.

February 23, 2018 at 6:33 pmHey Heather – Great question. You are right, I just mean to grind the tomatoes to break them up. No need to extract water/seeds. If you like, just dicing the tomatoes will work too. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks,
Nayomi

My instant pot does not have a manual mode on the display, in such case how do i adjust the time manually?
Thanks,
Sangi
