Mushroom and Green Peas Curry
by Tarla Dalal

Very popular with my grandchildren, this curry is best relished with steaming hot phulkas .Both mushrooms and green peas are a storehouse of nutrients like fibre, zinc, potassium, folic acid etc.

Making zero oil subzi is not as difficult as it may sound, as it does not totally prevent you from adding sinful ingredients like Cashewnuts, coconut, etc. but just requires you to use them moderately.
