Hey guys! The recipe I am posting today is made using Soya chunks, you can substitute soya chunks with granules also and in that case you need not grind the soya. Soya is full of proteins and many people do not like the taste of soya but try out this kheema recipe with pav/bread and you will love it. Lets get cooking….
Ingredients:
Soya chunks – 1 cup
Onions (finely chopped) – 3 medium
Tomatoes (finely chopped) – 3 medium
Ginger paste – 1 tbsp
Garlic paste – 2 tbsp
Green chilies (finely chopped) – 3 chilies
Oil – 2 tbsp
Jeera/Cumin seeds – 2 tsp
Turmeric powder/Haldi powder – 1 tsp
Kashmiri red chilly powder – 1 tbsp
Cumin-Coriander powder/Dhania-Jeera powder – 1 tbsp

1. In a pan/bowl heat the water. Once it comes to boil add the soya chunks in it and let it boil for a minute. After a minute switch off the gas and cover the pan.
