Instructions
Boil the soya chunks in water for 5 minutes. Drain the water, rinse the chunks under cold water, and squeeze out the excess water. Set aside.
Pick the fresh fenugreek leaves, discard thick stems, and wash thoroughly to remove dirt. Chop the leaves finely and set them aside.
Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, and green chilies.
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add chopped garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add chopped onions and cook until they turn golden brown.
Add chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts to separate from the mixture.
Add the boiled soya chunks and mix well with the masala. Cook for 3-4 minutes to let the flavors combine.
Add chopped fenugreek leaves and mix well. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the leaves are cooked and wilted.
Sprinkle garam masala and give it a final mix.
