Ingredients
- 1/3 cup soya chunks
- 1 medium big onion finely chopped
- 1 medium tomato roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garam masala powder
- water as needed
- salt to taste
To Grind :
- 3 tablespoon coconut
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon whole pepper
- 1 green chilli optional
To Temper:
- 2 teaspoon + 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds powder
- a sprig curry leaves
Instructions
- Boil water in a pan till it bubbles up rigorously.
- Switch off and add the soya chunks and let it aside for few mins for it to grow in size.
- Then rinse soya chunks in cold water at least twice to get rid of the raw smell. Drain water and Set aside.
- Grind the ingredients listed under ‘to grind’ to a coarse mixture without adding water, Keep aside.
- In a pan heat oil – add items listed under ‘to temper’ then add ginger garlic paste, onion, tomato and saute till tomatoes turn mushy and raw smell leaves.
- Then add the coconut mixture along with red chilli powder and garam masala powder and required salt.
- Saute for 2mins then add soya chunks and sprinkle little water for the gravy to blend well with the soya.
- Keep frying till it becomes dry and is reddish golden in color.
- Add oil if it sticks to the bottom of the pan.
- Serve hot or warm.
Notes
- I used my steel pan and it started sticking to the bottom of the pan so I had to add more oil(1 tablespoon) but if you are using nonstick pan then you can reduce the oil.
- If you are using the bigger variety soya chunks then cut them into half and proceed with the steps mentioned above.
- While water boils you can add a teaspoon of milk and switch off then add soya chunks, adding milk gets rid of the raw smell easily.
