Namaskar!
I am Nisha Madhulika
Today we will cook "Soya Matar Masala"
It is a tastier curry and easier to cook
I am using a special spice in this curry
which will helps to enhance its taste
Come, let us start the cooking
We took a cup of soya chunks
You can use soya granules instead of it
Boiled water is required to soak these
We took 2 to 2.5 cups of water in a vessel
Add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to it
Cover it to boil the water quickly
Add soya chunks in the water
Cover it and switch off the flame
Let it stay in the water for 20 minutes
It will expand and become soft
Later on, we will make its curry
The Soya chunks has also expanded
Now, we will roast the spices for it
Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil in the pan
and preheat it
For the Masala mixture, we took 2 tomatoes, a green chilli and an inch of ginger baton.
We have made their paste
Add a teaspoon of cumin powder to it
Add a teaspoon of coriander powder to it
Saute them slightly
Add the paste of tomato, ginger and green chilli
Turn the flame to medium
Add a teaspoon of red chilli powder to it
It is Degi red chilli powder which helps to enhance the colour
It is less spicy that's why you can increase or
decrease its quantity according to your taste
Roast the spices until oil separates from it
Stir it in the intervals
Add a 1/2 cup of green peas to it
We are using frozen peas
You can use fresh peas too
These peas will cook along with tomatoes
Mix them well
Cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on low flame
4 minutes have passed, let us check it
As we can notice, the peas has almost cooked
We will check it by pressing
It is pressing well because it has cooked
Now, we will add curd to it
We took a 1/4 cup of fresh curd
Whisk it using a spoon
Turn the flame to low
Add the curd to it
Stir and cook for a while until it boils
The Masala mixture has boiled
Now, we will add a 1/2 teaspoon of salt to it
We will add the lesser quantity of salt to it
because the special spice I am going to add is already consist of salt.
Let it cook for a while
Cover it and grind the soya chunks
Squeeze it as shown to strain out the extra water
Grind it coarsely ground
The soya chunks are ready
If you are using soya granules then there is no requirement of grinding it.
Here, the Masala mixture has cooked
We will add the paste of soya to it
Stir to mix it well
Again, cover and cook it for 3 to 4 minutes on low flame
We have cooked it for 4 minutes on low flame
It has absorbed all the spices
Now, we will add a tablespoon of butter to it
Add some finely chopped green coriander to it
Stir and cook for a while
Turn the flame to medium
The curry has almost cooked
Now, we will add a packet of Maggi Masala Ae magic to it
which will help to enhance its taste
This spice is made up of 10 roasted spices
which we cannot add all together to the curry
By adding a packet of it you can enjoy the flavor of 10 spices
The curry has cooked
There is a soothing fragrance from the curry
Soya peas spicy curry is ready to be served
It is tastier to eat
Garnish it with some chopped green coriander
Serve it along with Paratha, Chapati, rice or anything you desire.
Cooking it is an easier process
Be attentive that when you add curd to the Masala mixture the flame should be low
If you will add the curd on high flame then it might curdle
Make sure that you grind the soya chunks coarsely ground.
You will make the perfect curry
You should try the recipe and eat it
