Soya chunks potato curry

soya chunks potato curry recipe is a quick and easy curry using soya chunks or meal maker and potatoes. The meaty texture of soya makes for a delicious addition to curries. For vegetarians soya chunks are a great substitute for meat as they are rich in proteins. In addition they are low in fat and high in fiber. Also soya chunks absorb all the flavors of the curry that they are cooked in.



This curry is very easy to make as I have used pressure cooker to prepare it. Pressure cooking makes the soya chunks even more softer and the dish is prepared in minutes. You could avoid pressure cooker if needed and I have mentioned the procedure in the notes section below along with the recipe. Potatoes are a good combination with soya nuggets.



INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup soya chunks / nuggets
  • 2 small potatoes
  • 1 onion medium-sized
  • 2 tomatoes medium-sized
  • 1 inch piece ginger
  • 2 large garlic cloves crushed
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1/2 tsp fennel seeds / sombu / saunf
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Coriander leaves / cilantro for garnishing
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste

INSTRUCTIONS


  1. Soak soya chunks in hot water for 15 minutes. Wash it for a couple of times. Then squeeze the water from the soya chunks and set aside. If the chunks are too big, chop them into halves.
  2. Meanwhile finely chop onions and ginger. Crush the garlic. Cut the potatoes into small cubes.
  3. Roughly chop the tomatoes and blend into a paste.
  4. Heat oil in a pressure cooker. Add bay leaf, chopped onions, chopped ginger and crushed garlic.
  5. Fry till onions turn almost golden-brown in color.
  6. Add fennel seeds. Add the tomato paste.
  7. Let this cook for 2 minutes. Then add the potato cubes.
  8. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder and mix well.
  9. Add the soya chunks along with 3/4 cup water and stir.
  10. Pressure cook the gravy on high flame for around 4 whistles.
  11. Once the pressure gets released from the cooker, remove the lid and stir the curry.
  12. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
  13. Soya chunks potato curry is ready to be served with pulao or flat breads.

Top 10 Calcium-Rich Foods

  Calcium   helps you lose weight, studies show. "Really exciting research shows that if you get three servings of dairy daily, you're not only   preventing osteoporosis , but you're enhancing weight loss," says WebMD Weight Loss Clinic dietitian Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD, LD. However, that research has only involved dairy projects, she adds. "It seems there is a synergistic relationship between protein and  calcium . Eating other calcium-rich foods, like collards, won't do that." Nonetheless, calcium in any form is good for your body. Some of the top calcium-rich foods are: 1. Cheese Most cheeses are excellent sources of calcium. Parmesan cheese has the most, with 331 mg — or 33% of the RDI — per ounce (28 grams) (5). Softer cheeses tend to have less — one ounce of brie only delivers 52 mg, or 5% of the RDI. Many other varieties fall in the middle, providing about 20% of the RDI (6, 7). As an added bonus, your body absorbs the calcium in dairy products...
