Easy Way to Make Veg Soya Keema

• To prepare Veg Soya Keema at home, start by boiling the soya chunks.
• Once boiled, sprinkle a little salt over them. Allow the soya chunks to soften, then turn off the heat.
• Drain the chunks and grind them coarsely in a mixer.
• Next, heat some oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, letting them sizzle lightly.
• Once the cumin is fragrant, add finely chopped garlic, green chilli, and onion. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown.
• Then, stir some ginger paste and cook it thoroughly with the spice mixture.
• Once the masala is well-cooked in the pan, add the chopped tomatoes and stir.
• Incorporate the necessary spices and let the mixture simmer on low heat.
• When the oil begins to separate from the masala, add the ground soya chunks along with a spoonful of curd.
• Season with salt to taste, mix everything well, and cover the pan.
• Allow the soya keema to cook gently on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, letting the flavours blend.
