In the same kadai, add another tablespoon of oil and add the onions and green chilly. Add the crushed ginger & garlic after some time and cook until everything turns almost brown. 

Then add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.

Now add the chilly, coriander and turmeric powders. 

Keep cooking on medium flame, until the oil oozes out.

Meanwhile grind the cashews with little water to a fine paste and add it to the gravy. 

Add 2-3 tablespoons of water and continue cooking.

The masala will thicken and will become dry oozing out oil.
Now add about a cup to one and half cup of water and let the gravy boil nicely.

Add the cooked mushrooms and peas.
