Another Soya dish this month.....I found this recipe on the box of Nutrela(The most consumable soya chunks producing Company in India). The Pic looked so yummy, I thought to gave it a try, even though I had planned another Soya dish that day. It goes very well with rotis or any kind of Indian bread.

Onion paste : 1/2 cup
Ginger paste : 2 tsp.

- Heat oil in a pan, temper with cumin seeds, when they start to crackle, add ginger-garlic-onion paste and stir fry for 2-3 mins or until raw smell goes away and paste get a light brownish color. Add chopped tomatoes now, turmeric and red chilli powder, salt and cook until spices blend well and tomatoes soften.
- Now add soaked soya chunks or nuggets and green peas. Finally add garam masala powder and mix well together. Add about 1 cup water and cover pan. let it boil for 4-5 minutes.
