You have to add salt to it and boil the water. And see, you also have to add soya chunks to it. You have to let it boil till it boils well. As soon as it starts boiling, turn off the gas flame. You have to leave the soya chunks in water like this for 5 minutes. See, they become soft well. After this, you have to squeeze out all the excess water inside them like this so here we will use two onions and two tomatoes. Chop the onion. You have to grind the tomatoes and add them. Okay? And for better taste you can add some whole spices. If whole spices are not available, then you can use garam masala powder. 100 grams. You have to take curd.

Only then will the taste be good.
So see, here I have also fried soya chunks for about 3 to 4 minutes. Now after this you have to add tomatoes to it. You should have grinded tomatoes and you have to mix them well here. So when you add tomatoes here, the soya junk will absorb all the moisture of the tomatoes. But you have to fry the tomatoes here for some time so that the raw taste of the tomatoes goes away. And after this, when the tomatoes are fried, you have to add spices to it. So in the spices, you have to add half a teaspoon of coriander powder. Add half a teaspoon of cumin powder to it. You have to add a little kasuri methi to it. Fry the kasuri methi and add it. Only then it tastes good. You have to add half a teaspoon of garam masala powder to it.

So you will prepare it by frying tomatoes well with curd. The food tastes very good. See, it was roasted with tomatoes for three to four minutes. Here I have also fried soya chunks with curd for 3 to 4 minutes. Now here we have used Kashmiri chili powder for the colour. To make it spicy, you have to add some chopped green chilies to it. And you have to add green chilies here as well. So when all the moisture present inside these chunks is completely absorbed, then you do not have to add water to it. So add about two to three cups of water to it and you have to mix the water well. You have to add a little more water here because soya chunks neither get cooked with spices nor with water and its taste is very good.
Only then the good taste of the spices comes inside it. So I have added two more cups of water and mixed it well. Now you have to cover it with soya chunks from above. And let the soya chunks cook on medium to high flame for about 5 to 7 minutes. We will cook it on medium to high flame so that the water we added dries up a little.
