Soya Chunks - 1/3 cup

Tomato - 1 medium roughly chopped
Ginger Garlic paste - 1 tsp
Red Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Garam Masala Powder - 1/4 tsp
Water - as needed

To grind:

Fennel seeds - 1/2 tsp
Whole Pepper - 1/2 tsp

To temper:
Oil - 2 tsp + 1 tbspFennel Seeds powder - 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves - a sprig
Method:
- Boil water in a pan till it bubbles up rigorously.Switch off and add the soya chunks and let it aside for few mins for it to grow in size.
- Then rinse soya chunks in cold water atleast twice to get rid of the raw smell.Drain water and Set aside.Grind the ingredients listed under 'to grind' to a coarse mixture without adding water,Keep aside.
- In a pan heat oil - add items listed under 'to temper' then add ginger garlic paste, onion, tomato and saute till tomatoes turn mushy and raw smell leaves.Then add the coconut mixture along with red chilli powder and garam masala powder and required salt.
- Saute for 2mins then add soya chunks and sprinkle little water for the gravy to blend well with the soya.Keep frying till it becomes dry and is reddish golden in color.Add oil if it sticks to the bottom of the pan.
My Notes:
- I used my steel pan and it started sticking to the bottom of the pan so I had to add more oil(1 tbsp) but if you are using nonstick pan then you can reduce the oil.
- If you are using the bigger variety soya chunks then cut them into half and proceed with the steps mentioned above.
- While water boils you can add a tsp of milk and switch off then add soya chunks, adding milk gets rid of the raw smell easily.
