Step-by-Step Recipe (Tawa Method)

Step 1: Prep Soya Chunks
Boil 4-5 cups water with ½ tsp salt. Add soya chunks; boil 5-7 mins until soft. Turn off heat, let soak 5 mins. Drain, rinse with cold water 2-3 times (removes soya smell). Squeeze out excess water firmly. Cut larger chunks in half if needed.

Step 2: Roast on Tawa
Heat 3-4 tbsp oil/ghee on a large tawa or wide kadhai on medium-high. Add cumin seeds; let crackle. Add chopped onions; fry until golden brown (5-6 mins). Add ginger-garlic paste + green chillies; sauté 1 min.

Step 3: Masala Magic
Add tomatoes, turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, salt. Cook until tomatoes soften and oil separates (6-8 mins). Mash tomatoes lightly for thick base.

Step 4: Add Soya & Simmer
Toss in squeezed soya chunks. Mix well to coat with masala. Stir-fry on high flame for 4-5 mins so chunks get roasted edges. Add ½-1 cup water for semi-dry or gravy consistency. Cover and simmer on low 5-7 mins – soya absorbs flavors.

Step 5: Finish
Sprinkle garam masala + crushed kasuri methi. Stir 2 mins. Squeeze lemon if desired. Garnish with fresh coriander. Turn off heat.

Serve hot – the soya will be juicy, spicy, and super protein-rich!
