TO MAKE SOYA CHUNKS CURRY
- Heat oil in a pan and add onions. Saute them until they become translucent.
- Add chopped tomatoes and slitted green chillies. Saute them until the tomatoes turn mushy.
- Add all the spices and saute them until the raw smell goes off.
- Add drained soya chunks to the curry and mix them well. Let them cook for a minute.
- Add the ground paste and mix them gently.
- Add water according to your curry consistency and season them with salt.
- Boil the curry until the oil releases on its sides.

Notes
- To soften the soya chunks, put the soya chunks in hot or warm water for 15 mins.
- Wash the soya chunks thoroughly.
- Since the soya has been soaking in the water for a long time, it has absorbed the water. So squeeze the soya chunks really well to drain the excess amount of water.
