Incorporate 1/2 cup of green peas, diced carrots, or bell peppers along with the potatoes for added nutrition and color.

To save time, follow the steps in a pressure cooker. After adding water, close the lid and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally.
For a slight tang, add 1/2 teaspoon of amchur (dry mango powder) along with the garam masala at the end.

This usually happens for two reasons: either the soya chunks were not soaked in hot water for long enough, or the water was not squeezed out completely. Ensure they are fully soft after soaking and squeeze them very well before cooking.
Absolutely! Using pre-boiled potatoes can significantly reduce the simmering time. Add the boiled potato cubes along with the soya chunks and simmer for just 5-7 minutes to allow them to absorb the flavors.
