Method to prepare spicy soya chunks gravy

Take 2 cups of soya chunks

soak in water for about 8 to 10 minutes. Here I have taken the smaller variety which I used to get it here. If you get the bigger variety, then soak it for about 15 to 20 minutes to make it softer.

After the about 10 minutes check if the soya balls are soaked well. Then squeeze the balls nicely.

Now add one tablespoon of curd or yogurt to this balls and mix them nicely.

Allow to soak it for another 10 to 15 minutes. Adding curd Makes the balls to be very soft and gives a nice Tangy taste to the soya chunks gravy.

add onion, ginger garlic and saute them nicely.
