  • Onion -1 medium size
  • Tomato -1
  • Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp

  • Salt - as needed
  • Oil - 1 tbsp

For Grinding (Optional)

  • Coconut - 4 tbsp

Method

  1. In a kadai, pour some oil. When it gets heated up splutter the whole garam masala.
  2. Fry the onions immediately till it becomes soft.
  3. Add the GG paste. Once the mixture (onion and GG paste) is little done, put the tomatoes.
  4. After they get little cooked, add the potatoes cut in small cubes.
  5. Add the meat masala powder and turmeric powder and give a toss till the mixture gets coated good with masala.
  6. In the meantime, soak the soya chunks or the granules for few minutes and boil in the microwave for 3 minutes.Then squish the water out and clean it up before putting in the mixture.
  7. Add the soya chunks or granules to the mixture.Let it mix well.
  8. Once the whole mixture gets little boiled and coated with masala pour the ground mixture (coconut and cumin seeds) into the gravy. This gives more richness to the gravy.
  9. Add required water and salt. Let it come to a boil and let it simmer for few minutes before switching off.

Tips

  • Soya Chunks provide much better taste with potatoes than soy granules. When using soya granules, you can avoid the potatoes also.

Hi Raji, Meat Masala is just a blend of different spices like corriander, cumin, fennel and garam masala. It is purely vegetarian. It is used just to make things easier instead of adding all the different spices.

hi...ur recipe seems to be interesting but am having a doubt, what do u mean by " pour the ground mixture (coconut and cumin seeds) into the gravy" they are not mentioned in the ingredients. do u want me to grind both?

Reply :-
Hi Sindhu, You have to grind them together and add to the garvy. It is mentioned in the ingredients list seperately as ' for grinding'.

I am a vegetarian. Is there any substitute for meat masala powder?

Reply :-
Hi Namagiri, Meat masala powder is a blend of different spices like garam masala, corriander seeds, fennel seeds, chillies etc. It is purely vegetarian. You can use 2 tsp of corriander powder, 1 tsp of chilly powder, 1/2 tsp of fennel seed powder and 1/2 tsp of garam masala powder instead.

are the soya chunks same as soya beans?

Reply :-
soya beans are different from soya chunks... soya beans are legumes and are available as dry beans or fresh frozen beans. Soya Chunks are made from soya flour. It is available in all indian stores. These are in round chunks and its texture after cooking is like meat.

Mubeen,
It was good. I added a little more red chilli powder to spice it up a little bit and also added little chicken to make my husband eat :)
