Dhingri aka Mushrooms along with peas, made with a delicate combination of spices makes this dish truly delicious.
The addition of yogurt adds a special sourness. The ground poppy seeds and cashew nuts paste made it rich texture. I typically avoid the cashew nuts as I like to to be low in fat content. The poppy seeds do give the richness that is required in the gravy.
You do want to add the cashews, then you can roast them slightly and add it as a garnish.
