Now add the red chilli powder, kashmiri chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder. Saute well until the mixture turns dry and raw smell goes. Add cashew nut paste now and combine well. Add little water and let the gravy boil . 

Mean time dry saute the sliced mushrooms in another pan once it shrinks and start oozing out water, switch off. Now add sauted mushroom and steamed peas into the gravy , let the gravy simmer on low flame for atleast 10 to 12 minutes. If it becomes too thick gravy add little water . Add chopped coriander leaves and mix well. Switch off flame and serve warm with Roti or Nan.

NB: If you want to put mushroom slices as it is you can put like that, I want little crunch so sauted and add mushrooms. Instead of cashew paste you can add little fresh cream. Enjoy cooking..
