The Preparation

Step 1

Boil the soya chunks in salted water for 10 minutes until soft. Drain and squeeze out all excess water thoroughly.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, and half of the red chili powder. Add the boiled soya chunks and paneer cubes, coating them well. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan (Handi) or kadhai. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add the chopped onions and sauté on medium heat until they turn golden brown.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato puree and the remaining red chili powder. Cook until the ghee begins to separate from the masala.

Step 6

Add the marinated soya chunks and paneer along with any remaining marinade. Sauté for 5 minutes to sear the paneer and integrate the spices.

Step 7

Add 1/2 cup of warm water and salt. Cover and simmer for 8-10 minutes on low heat to allow the flavors to penetrate the soya chunks.

Step 8

Crush kasuri methi between your palms and sprinkle it over the gravy along with garam masala. Stir gently.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh coriander and serve hot with brown rice or sorghum (jowar) rotis.
