    I always make soya keema paratha or make the stuffing for calzone or any bread/bun variety as my family loves it.

    The first time I tasted soya chunks kurma was in my college canteen and fell in love with it instantly. I still remember in the canteen parotta with kurma costed just 5 rs with 2 small parottas and a bucket full of kurma haha good old days and memories. The kurma was runny but still so flavourful.They never charged for extra kurma so my friends used to dunk in the parottas in kurma and eat it. However I am not fond of eating it that way still loved the flavour of the kurma so much. So wanted to replicate it, though this version didn’t taste like the one I had in canteen it tasted good in its own way.Someday if I am able to get the same taste will surely post another version, I promise!

    We had it with jeera rice and enjoyed this kurma. Soya chunks is good for diabetics patients too as its low in fat and high in protein.

    I made this soya chunks kurma just like the way we make any kurma with slight variations here and there.

    Variations:

    • You can replace gram dal fully with cashews if you are looking for a very rich kurma.
    • If you are looking for a diet friendly kurma then replace cashews with fried gram dal itself but the flavour and taste will differ.
    • You can add 1 tsp poppy seeds while grinding if you get it.
    • Also you can add 1/4 cup coconut instead of 1/2 cup coconut and add more of fried gram dal say  2 to 3 tbsp.
    • You can replace soya chunks with potatoes or any vegetables of your choice.
