Soya Burji

The mouth-watering taste and the protein content in Soya makes this dish my all time favorite. Cooking this dish for the first time was an amazing experience. Do try this out and share your experience. 

Soya Chunks-250 gms
Onion-3(Cut into small pieces)
Tomato-2(Cut into small pieces)
Chili Powder- 2 Tea Spoon
Coriander Powder – ½ Tea Spoon
Turmeric Powder - A pinch
Salt- 1 tea spoon
Oil-1 table spoon
Mustard Seeds-1 Tea Spoon
Urud Dal – 2 Tea Spoons


Soak the Soya chunks in boiling hot water for 15 minutes. By now it will absorb water and become soft.  Squeeze the Soya chunks one by one to remove water. Cut the chunks into small granules and keep them aside.
On a frying pan, add cooking oil and the seasoning ingredients. Add onion and half-a-teaspoon salt and keep stirring. Once the onion becomes transparent, add tomato pieces and keep stirring. Add turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder and remaining salt and mix well. Add one table spoon of water to it to bring it to a semi-gravy form. Add Soya granules to the gravy and mix well. Cover it up for 5 minutes.
Keep stirring it for a while till all the water is dried up and it is in Burji form. Serve hot with Chapattis or Rice.

Optional: Add one beaten egg along with the soya granules to make the dish richer.
