Soyabean Curry Recipe

Ingredients:

• Prepare the soyabean:
  Boil water in a pan and add a little salt. Add the soyabean chunks and cook for about 5–7 minutes until they become soft. Drain and rinse them with fresh water. Squeeze out the excess water and keep aside.
• Prepare the base:
  Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, cardamom, and cinnamon. Let them crackle for a few seconds.
• Cook the onions:
  Add the chopped onions and cook until they become golden brown.
• Add ginger and garlic:
  Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilies. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
• Add tomatoes and spices:
  Add the chopped tomatoes, turmeric, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes become soft and the oil starts separating from the mixture.
• Add soyabean:
  Add the prepared soyabean chunks and mix well so they are coated with the masala.
• Make the curry:
  Add about 2 cups of water and bring the curry to a boil. Cover and simmer for 10–15 minutes so the soyabeans absorb the flavors.
• Finish the curry:
  Add garam masala and cook for another 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
