First step is to saute the vegetables in butter. As we are using mushrooms and capsicum, lets first get it sauteed. So, firstly, Melt butter in a pan.
add oil to it. oil is added so that the butter does not burn. 
put in the capsicum to the melted butter
Next, add the cleaned and sliced mushrooms to it

When mushrooms start leaving out oil and the shrinks a little, take it out to a plate or bowl.

to the brown onions, add the ginger garlic paste
fry this until the raw smell of ginger and garlic goes off. 
Further to the onion, ginger garlic add the tomato puree. just grind the tomatoes to fine puree and add it. need not Blanche it.
Fry the tomatoes well until the oil leaves out the sides.
Fried tomatoes should be looking like this. Fry in medium heat patiently until you get to this consistency. 
Add all the spice powders – turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, kashmiri chilli powder, cumin powder, garam masala and curd.
Mix well until it is well combined with the base
furthermore, add the fried mushrooms and capsicums along with that little water it has let out

Next is the salt, adjust it to your taste
1 cup water is added so that we can bring it to a boil. 
crushed kasuri methi is added to this
mix well and Close and cook the curry in medium flame until the oil leaves out the sides
After 15-20 minutes open it, check in between for the water and do not let it scorch to the bottom of the pan.

Ofcourse, in restaurants, they may add red food colour to bring that bright red colour but I have not added it. It tastes excellent just like the dhaba curry. serve hot with rotis and enjoy!
