Soy chunks are easily available now a days. Very healthy and a good substitution for meat. In fact if you can get the recipe right then it tastes much better than meat.

Procedure:

Soya Chunks Kheema: (A)

  • Add hot water to Soy chunks and keep it aside for 10 to 15 mins till all the water is absorbed. 
  • Once the water is soaked completely, blend the chunks in to tiny chunks as shown in the picture. At this point it looks like cooked minced meat.
Kheema mutter:
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add cardamom pods, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds and fry for a few seconds. 
  • Once you get the aroma go ahead and add chopped onions, ginger garlic paste, turmeric powder and mix well. Cook till the onions turn translucent.
