Soya Bhurji

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the soya granules.

   • Place the soya granules in a large bowl and pour 3 cups of hot water over them.
   • Let them soak for 15 minutes until they become soft and spongy.
   • Drain the water completely. Rinse with cold water, then take small portions and squeeze out all the excess water. This step is crucial for a non-chewy texture. Set aside.
2. 2

   Make the masala base.

   • Heat oil in a pan or kadai over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.
   • Add the finely chopped onions and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they turn translucent and light golden.
   • Add the ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
3. 3

   Cook the tomatoes and spices.

   • Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and mushy.
   • Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook the spices for 1 minute until the oil starts to separate from the masala.
