Begin by soaking the soy chunks in hot water for about 10 minutes to hydrate them. After 10 minutes, squeeze out the excess water and set aside.
While the soy chunks are soaking, peel the turnips and cut them into bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and tomato separately.
Heat the ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another couple of minutes until the raw smell dissipates.
Add the chopped tomato to the pan and cook until the tomatoes soften and meld into the spice mix.
Stir in the turmeric, red chili, and coriander powders. Mix well, and let the spices cook for 1 minute.
Add the turnip cubes and soy chunks to the pan, stirring to coat them well with the spices.
Pour in the water, add salt, and mix. Cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer on low heat for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the turnips are tender and cooked through.
Once the turnips are tender, uncover the pan and increase the heat slightly to evaporate any excess moisture if needed.
Stir in the garam masala and adjust the seasoning as per taste. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve hot as a main course or a side dish with keto-friendly flatbread or cauliflower rice.
