Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Soya chaap
- 3 tablespoons Oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 large, finely chopped Onions
- 3 large, pureed Tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons Ginger-garlic paste
- 2 chopped Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 2 teaspoons Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
- 100 ml Cream

Instructions
Begin by preparing the soya chaap. If using frozen chaap, let it thaw to room temperature. Then, cut the chaap sticks into medium-sized pieces.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the soya chaap pieces and sauté until golden brown in color. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chilies. Sauté for 2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook the mixture until the oil slightly separates from the masala, about 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat and add the soya chaap pieces back to the pan. Mix well to coat them with the masala.
Pour in the cream and mix it well, ensuring the chaap is evenly coated.
Sprinkle garam masala and crushed kasuri methi over the top, mix well, and let the gravy simmer for 5 more minutes.
Garnish the dish with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.
Serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
