  • Finally add the garam masala and required salt and switch off the flame.
  • Once it has cooled down add it to the blender along with the blanched almonds and grind it to a smooth paste.
  • On the same pan transfer the grind-ed paste and cook it for 5 minutes.
  • If need add additional water to the curry and add the soya chunks.
  • After 5 minutes of adding the soya chunks switch off the flame and add the dried fenugreek leaves.
  • Serve the curry with roti or basmati rice and enjoy!

Notes

  • For vegan version of the curry add coconut oil or any plant based oil instead of olive oil.
  • To make the curry extra richer you can also add some heavy cream at the end.
  • This is a mild spiced curry; you can add or reduce the amount of spiciness according to your taste.
  • Some prefer to cook the soya chunks before adding into any curry but that step is not needed here.
