Ingredients
100gramsoya chunks(2 cups)
3sprigcurry leaves
vegetable oil
Marination
1teaspoonginger paste
1teaspoongarlic paste
¼teaspoonturmeric powder
1tablespooncoriander powder
2 ½ teaspoonchilli powder
½teaspoongaram masala
2tablespooncorn flour
2tablespoonlemon juice
5numbergreen chilli
salt
Instructions
Place the soya chunks in a bowl and fill it up with enough hot boiling water so that the soya chunks are completely immersed. Close the bowl with a lid. Leave it aside for 20 minutes.
After soaking in water, the soya chunks would appear double in volume. Squeeze all the water from the soya chunks. Cut soya chunks into smaller pieces.
Slit the green chilly length wise. Marinate it with the ingredients listed under marination for 1 hour.
Heat oil in a pan and add soya chunks pieces in batches. In every batch add curry leaves along with soya chunks. Deep fry the soya until it's done. Don't overfry. It would turn hard, and would be difficult to chew.
Serve it hot. Enjoy :)
Notes
I always start with frying single soya piece to adjust the salt and then start frying in batches.
Make sure soya pieces are not overcooked. It makes it hard.
