I've always had a fascination for soya nuggets and remember fishing them from the rice in Soya biryani or in any gravy they were in ... While I was staying over at a friends place until I got a rented place of my own in Hyd, I remember making this one evening for my friends kid, as an accompaniment with roti's..... and he polished the entire bowl :)
Here is what you will need :
- Soya chunks : 1 small bowl
- Tomato : 4 medium
- Cumin powder : 1 Tsp
- Green chillies : 2
- Ginger garlic paste : ½ Tsp
- Corn flour : 1 Tbsp heaped
- Salt : To taste
- Turmeric powder : A pinch
- Coriander powder : 1 tsp
- Garam masala : 1-1/2 Tsp
- Kasoori methi : 2 Tsp
- Oil : 1-2 Tsp
- Mustard seeds : ½ Tsp
- Curry leaves : 8-10
How I made it :
- Soak Soya chunks for about 20 minutes in warm salted water.
- Squeeze extra water and keep aside.
- Make puree of tomatoes and green chillies. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds and add curry leaves.
- Add ginger-garlic paste and fry till it gets light brown.
- Add tomato puree, mix all spices and fry on low flame.
- Dissolve corn flour in some cold water and add into gravy. Adjust the thickness with water.
- Add soya chunks and cover the lid.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes on low flame.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve with chapatti or rice and ghee :)
