Namaskar
Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Every morning we usually have one question that is, which dish should we make?
Sometimes there is this an urge to cook something unique and different.
Today we will make soya kofta curry which has amazing taste.
For the soya curry, take 1/2 cup of coarsely ground soya chunks
For this dish, we need 1/2 cup of boiling water
Add the boiling water in soya chunks
Cover and keep it aside for 10 minutes to expand.
In the meantime, we will peel and grate potatoes
We took 2 boiled potatoes
Grate them
10 minutes have passed
Our soya chunks have expanded
Add the grated potatoes in it
Add 1/2 tsp of Salt
Add 1/2 tsp of Coriander powder
Add 1/4 tsp of Red chilli powder
Add 1 finely chopped green chilli.
Add 1/4 tsp of Turmeric powder
Add 2 to 3 tbsp of finely chopped Green Coriander
Add 2 tbsp of Chickpea flour
Mix all the Ingredients Properly
Our dough is ready
Now, we will make its cutlets
Preheat Oil in a wok
Take a dough lump and bind it into a round ball
We will make cutlets of the whole dough
Now, we will fry the prepared cutlets
Add a dough lump in the Oil to check its temperature
The dough is frying properly
Oil has heated and we need the medium-high heated Oil for cutlets.
The flame should be high
Add the cutlets to fry
They are light brown from the bottom
We will flip and fry these until they are golden brown.
Cutlets appear golden brown from all the sides so we will drain them out.
Stop ladle at the corner of the wok so that extra oil moves back in it.
We will fry the leftover cutlets by the same manner
We fried and prepared all the cutlets
It takes 6 to 7 minutes for frying single round of cutlets
Now, we will cook the gravy
Add 2 to 3 tbsp of Oil in the pan
Add 1/2 tsp of Cumin seeds
These are whole spices in which we have
2 Bay leaves
1 Cinnamon stick
3 Cloves
6 to 7 Black Peppers
Do not add Whole spices in it if not wanted. They are optional
We will add Black Cardamoms seeds after peeling them
Turn the flame to low from avoiding spices from burning.
Add 1/2 tsp of Turmeric powder
Add 1 tsp of Coriander powder
We took 4 tomatoes, 1-inch Ginger and 1 green chilli.
We will add their paste in it
Add the paste
Mix them
Add 3/4 tsp of Red chilli powder
It is Degi Mirch which gives astonishing colour to the gravy, does not make the gravy spicier.
You can increase or decrease its quantity according to your taste
Turn the flame to medium
Roast the spices until Oil separates from it
Stir it in the intervals
This is 1 tsp of Dry Fenugreek Leaves
We will add them after crushing you can watch the recipe of Dry Fenugreek Leaves on my channel.
It is an optional Ingredient too.
You can make the gravy according to your taste using Cashews, Poppy seeds, muskmelon seeds, etc.
You can see these recipes on my website or youtube channel.
To make the thicker gravy, we will add chickpea flour in it
If we want then, we can add chickpea flour along with spices and roast them but, we want to enhance its taste
so we will take the tempering pan.
Add 1 tsp of clarified butter in it
Add 1 tbsp of chickpea flour in it
Roast while continuously stirring it until brown on the medium flame.
Its colour has changed, aroma is soothing, it has roasted too.
The masala mixture is excluding oil from because it has roasted.
Add the roasted chickpea flour in the mixture
Now, we will add the water
We will add 1.5 cups of Water in it
You can decide the consistency of water according to your choice.
The thinner consistency gravy is considered for cutlets because they absorbs the larger amount of the gravy.
Add less than 1/4 tsp of Garam Masala
Add some finely chopped Green Coriander
Leave the gravy to boil
We took 2 tbsp of cream
We will add cream in the gravy
The gravy will taste good without cream too but, the cream helps to enhance the taste
Now, we will cook while continuously stirring until it boils.
The gravy has boiled, we will add 1/4 tsp of salt in it.
Cover and cook the gravy for 3-4 minutes on the low flame
4 minutes have passed
The gravy has cooked, cutlets have fried.
We won't add them directly in the gravy because these cutlets are delicate
We will arrange them in a plate and pour the gravy over them.
You can cook and store them separately
Serve them in this way only
Soya kofta curry is ready to be served
They have cooked tastier
Add some finely chopped Green coriander to garnish the gravy
You can serve this curry with Paratha, Chappati, Rice or anything you desire.
This amount of the curry is enough for 3-4 members of a family
Cooking it is an easy process but, be careful that
if you will add cutlets in the extremely heated Oil then, they might burn from the top and won't cook from the inside.
Cutlets will split in the less heated Oil.
Keep the flame on medium-high
You will prepare the amazing curry
so you cook it and eat it
