SOYA CHUNKS MASALA DRY

Ingredients

100 gms Soya chunks

1 1/2 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp pepper powder

1-2 tbsp gingergarlic paste

2 tsp coriander powder

2 onions chopped finely

1 tsp turmeric powder

1 1 /2 tsp gram masala

1 tomato chopped

2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves

curry leaves

Method

Place the soya chunks in a bowl and fill it up with enough hot water so that the soya chunks are completely immersed. Leave it aside for 20 minutes.After soaking in water, the soya chunks would appear double in volume. Squeeze all the water from the soya chunks. I prefer to cut soya chunk pieces into smaller ones.

Marinate it with pepper powder, chilli powder, ginger garlic paste and salt for 10 minutes.
Heat oil in kadai. Add onions, curry leaves and some salt, salt absorbs moisture from onion and helps onion to get cooked fast. Saute it well until onions turn light brown.

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder and garam masala. Fry it well.

Add tomato and saute until it becomes soft.
Add marinated soya and 1 cup water. Adjust salt. Cover and cook it for 15 minutes.
Now open the lid and cook until the water evaporates.
To have a perfect dry, add 2 - 3 tsp oil. Saute it well until it turns dark in color.            
Garnish it with coriander leaves. Serve it with rice or Indian breads. Enjoy !!!!
