Simple Soya Wonder



A very very simple dish that I thought of cooking since morning. There is nothing in the refrigerator except for tomatoes and little cilantro. No curry leaves, no green chillies, didn't know what to cook and no ginger garlic paste that I cherish the most. Then I remembered my mom's curry that she fixes in 10 min when she has to cook in a hurry without any vegetables, Onion and Tomato curry and I just added soya chunks to it. I have to go to Indian store tonight as they bring fresh ones today to stock up my fridge.

Cooking time is less than 10 mins and that makes it a wonder!

You'll need....

1 medium onion, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
10-15 soya chunks (wash them in water and cook in microwave for a minute)
1/4 tbsp turmeric
1 tbsp red chilli powder
1/4 tbsp garam masala
salt to taste
1 cup water
cilantro for garnishing

  1. Heat oil in a pan and add onions. Just fry them lightly, very light brown.
  2. Add tomato and cook for 2 or 3 minutes.
  3. Add boiled soya chunks, turmeric, chilly powder, salt and mix.
  4. Add water and simmer for 5 mins.

Garnish with coriander and serve hot with hot rice.

  7. Lata,
    Nice recipe..once had tried soyachunks biryani, which was good but din't like the chunks' taste..as curry it might be different since if it absorbs the gravy..
