- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tsp grated garlic
- 1 cup curd (plain yogurt)
- 15 pieces cashew nuts
- 2 kashmiri dried red chilies
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder
- 1 1/2 tbsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tbsp kitchen king masala
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Boil 5 to 6 cups of water in a big pot. Add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Add the 2 cups soya chunks and boil them for 5 minutes. Drain the water and put the chunks into a bowl of cold water. Rinse them well and let them cool.
- Once they are cool, gently squeeze out the extra water from the soya chunks and put them in a bowl. Now the soya chunks are ready to use in curries or gravies.
- Put 1 cup curd, 2 kashmiri dried red chilies, 15 pieces cashew nuts, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 1/2 tbsp coriander powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tbsp kitchen king masala, 1 1/4 tsp salt or to taste, and 1 tsp red chili powder in a blender. Blend everything until smooth. Set it aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan. Add 1 tsp cumin seeds and let them crackle. Then add 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp grated garlic, 1/2 cup onion (finely chopped), and 3/4 cup tomatoes. Stir and cook for one minute on medium heat.
- Add chopped 1 cup fresh methi leaves and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. If anything is sticking to the pan, add 2 tablespoons of water to loosen it.
- Add the blended curry base, mix well, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Keep stirring so nothing sticks to the pan.
- Now add 2 cups of water and boiled soya chunks, cover the pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on medium heat.
- Once the curry is cooked and the soya chunks are soft, open the pan and add 1 tsp garam masala. Stir the curry well.
- Taste the curry. If needed, adjust the spices or add more water to change the thickness.
- Turn off the heat. The Methi Soya Chunks Curry is ready. Serve it with paratha, Tandoori roti, or jeera rice. Enjoy!
