Ingredients: Soya chunks 1 cup,uncooked Onion 1 sliced Ginger-garlic paste 1tbsp Tomato 1-2 chopped Green chilli 2 vertical slit
Curry leaves a sprig Whole garam masala 1" cinnamon,2 cloves,2 cardamom,bay leaf 1 Chilly powder 1/2 tsp Kashmiri chilli powder 1/4 tsp Coriander powder 2tsp Garam masala 1/2 tsp Crushed pepper 1/2 tsp Thin coconut milk (2nd milk/randampaal) 1 1/4 cup Thick coconut milk (1st milk/thanpaal) 1/2 cup Oil 2 tbsp To temper Shallots 2 sliced Curry leaves a sprig Coconut oil 2tsp
Method: Wash the soya and add to a pan with enough water and bring to a boil. Cook until the soya chunks softens. Drain the hot water and add cold water. Rinse the soya 3-4 times to remove the smell and taste. Squeeze out the excess water and keep aside. Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add the ginger-garlic paste. Sauté until raw smell disappears. Now add in the whole garam masala and then slide in the sliced onions .Add curry leaves and green chillies too. Sauté until slightly brown on medium flame(Add a pinch of salt to fasten the process). Add the spice powders on low flame and sauté until raw smell disappears. Add in the tomatoes and mix well. Add in the cooked soya and toss well. Add the randaampaal (2nd milk) or thin coconut milk, add salt and mix well. Close the cooker with weight and cook for 3 whistles on med high flame. Wait till the pressure is released. Open the cooker and switch on the flame. Check the consistency and salt. Adjust salt if required. Add 1st milk(onaampaal) accordingly. I added 1/2 cup of thick coconut milk on low flame. Wait until one or two bubble appears at the edges and then switch off flame. Keep it covered. Heat oil(preferably coconut oil) in another pan and sliced shallots, & curry leaves. Fry the shallots until pinkish brown. Switch off flame and pour over the curry. Serve warm after 20 minutes.
NOTES * Freshly squeezed coconut milk adds a unique flavor to this curry and so I have used that. I used half cup grated coconut, but you can always use canned milk. * If you don't use coconut milk then, add whole milk 1/2 cup at the end like we add first coconut milk(thick).The curry will taste good. * You can add a cubed carrot or cubed potato along with soya to the pressure cooker to make it more rich.
Happy Cooking!
