Method

Grind the onion, tomato, garlic and ginger into a paste. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in a pressure cooker/kadhai and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves, brown cardamom, green cardamom, and dried red chillies.
Once the whole spices splutter and release their flavor, add the onion-tomato paste to it. Cook on low-medium heat for a few minutes until most of the moisture evaporates.
Add the turmeric powder, garam masala, cumin power, salt, and pepper powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and stir in the mushrooms and peas. Add a cup of water and cover the pressure cooker/kadhai. Let the curry cook on medium-high heat for a few minutes until the peas are tender.
Add the cashew cream and mix well. Simmer for a few minutes until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Add more water if required. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
