Simple Mushroom Matar or Khumbh Matar Ki Subzi

I know you all must be wondering what happened to this girl,well lot of things happened in these past months ,a major relocation and that means relocating to new place,a new country,house searching then settling etc.......lil one hasn’t started going to school yet ,we are still looking for good schools near our vicinity.

that was a little update on my personal front friends.

Recently blogger celebrated it’s 10 th year,you can read more Here .

and it has come a long way since then,from a text based tool,now to podcasting,photoblogs,video blogs and mobile blogging etc.....Bloggers as we know is founded by Evans Williams and Meg Hourihans working together for Pyra Labs.Google has bought all the major share in 2003 and all our notes are safely guarded in google’s servers now.

Blogger is a blog publishing system and the service is located at blogger.com and who do not publish at their own site (like me) has a subdomain blogspot.com to look after it.Thank you Blogspot and Google for that!! (well yeah as if you dont know it!! poor me ,being quite laid back, came to know about it recently)
In India ,a blog became active in the year 2001 most probably , and in 2004 Delhi’s (twilight fairy) came up with her group blog delhibloggersbloc.com for the first time.In her own words “they have to spell it out to others then ” , leave alone the techinical details.

Now this is the most “in thing” in India!!!

So I am also part of this "in thing",which came to me as a little surprise ,as I always shy away from such things...anyways now to the recipe after all this gyan ki batein ....

Matar Mushroom is one of the very first recipe that I made coming to here, as I got some real fresh mushrooms from our local grocery store.Peas/matar I wished were fresh ones but I guess I have to satisfy myself with frozen ones,that is what I will get here..so No more complains... ...
