Soya chunks curry

Ingredients:-

Nutrela mini soya chunks - 1 cup(200g)
Onion - 1 large, chopped fine
Tomato - 1 large, chopped fine
Green chilly - 1, chopped fine
Refined oil - 1tbsp
Garam masala - 1tbsp
Red chilli powder - 1tsp
Coriander powder - 1tbsp
Coriander leaves for garnishing
Salt - to taste

Preparation:-
Boil water along with little salt. Add soya chunks and boil until soft. Once soft, strain the soya chunks from the water. Allow it to cool. In the meantime, heat a kadai and add oil to it. Add onion and green chillies. Once the onion turns translucent, add chopped tomato. Add salt to speed up the cooking process of tomatoes. Once the tomato-onion mixture turns mushy, add the garam masala, coriander powder and chilli powder. Fry it for 2 mins, make sure this is not burnt. Squeeze the water out of the drained soya chunks using your hands and add to the kadai. Again fry it for few mins until the soya chunks is coated with the mixture. This curry is more of a dry kind. Add water if you like your curry to be gravy type.

P.S:- One variation to the above preparation can be made by marinating the boiled soya chunks(after squeezing out of the water) in the coriander powder, chilli powder and garam masala mixture for some time. Add this marinated chunks to the tomato onion mixture after it turns mushy.
