INGREDIENTS

• Soyabean champ-300 grams (10-12 sticks)
• Tomatoes-5-6 medium sized
• Cream-4 tablespoons
• Red chilli powder-1/2 teaspoon
• Kasoori methi-1 teaspoon
• Salt to taste

• Asafoetida-a pinch
• Cumin seeds (jeera)-1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger sliced-1/2 inch
• Green chillies-2
• Garam masala powder-1/4 teaspoon
• Oil-2 tablespoons

METHOD

• Remove the sticks from the soyabean champ.

• Add them to the boiling hot water & boil for 2 minutes.
• Then, drain out the excess water & allow them to dry for around 10-15 minutes.

• Cut the champ into small pieces & arrange them on the roasting sticks provided with the oven.

• Roast them in the oven at 250 degrees celsius for around 10-15 minutes or until brown.

• Once roasted, keep them aside.
• Next, heat oil in a pan.
• Add asafoetida & cumin seeds (jeera).
• As they crackle, add ginger.
• As ginger turns golden, add the turmeric powder.

• Next, add the sliced tomatoes & the green chillies.

• Fry the tomatoes till they are half cooked.
• Once they are half cooked, turn off the flame & allow the mixture to cool down.
• Once the mixture cools down, grind it to a fine paste in a mixer grinder.
• Then, pour it back to the pan & turn on the flame.
• As the mixture starts leaving oil, add red chilli powder, salt, kasoori methi & coriander powder & mix well.

• To this masala, add the roasted soyabean champ & fry them together for around 2 minutes.

• Add 2 cups water to make gravy.

• Bring it to a good boil & lower the flame & cover the pan with a lid till the water gets almost half of what was originally added.
• Then, add cream on a low flame & allow it to get cooked on a low flame till a thick gravy is formed.
• Add the garam masala powder at the end & mix well.
• Malai soyabean champ is ready to serve.
