Soya Chunks Kurma Recipe | Soya Chunks Vegetable Kurma Recipe

December 1, 2015 32 Comments

Soya chunks and vegetable korma recipe – We like soya chunks, for its meaty texture, for its flavour-absorbing nature and for all that protein and fiber it hides in there. What we are not a fan of is the smell it gives out. Here are a couple of tips shared by readers in my Chilli Soya Chunks Recipe post. While I have tried many Soya Chunks Recipes, I had never used any tip to remove the smell in soya chunks. Try the following if you want to make your soya chunks dish smell better! 
– Add some minced garlic to the nuggets and boil in water for 5 mins. Cool, squeeze out extra water and use
– Soak nuggets in a bowl of hot water along with 3-4 spoons of milk – that takes away the raw soya taste and leaves the soya nuggets creamy and smooth.
I have tried and they both work. I used the second method for this Soya Chunks Kurma recipe. The list of ingredients may seem long but its all pantry staple in an Indian kitchen so you won’t need to go running for anything, hopefully 🙂

Serves: 2
Preparation time: 30 mins
Ingredients:
1.5 cup soya chunks
1 large onion, sliced long
1/2 cup chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, pea, beans, cauliflower, anything you have in the fridge)
1/4 cup grated coconut, ground in a mixer
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
2 green chillies
1 tsp red chilli powder (optional, or adjust to taste)
A pinch of turmeric powder
1 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
Spices:
1 bay leaf
2 pods cardamom
3 cloves 
1″ piece of cinnamon
1 star anise (optional)

How to Make Soya Chunks Kurma

1. Soak soya chunks in a bowl of hot water along with 3-4 spoons of milk. After about 20 mins, drain, squeeze out all excess water and set aside.
2. Heat oil in a pan and add the sliced onions. Fry until transparent and add all the spices. Fry for 2 mins until the flavour and smell comes out. Then add the ginger garlic paste, turmeric and chilly powder/green chillies. Fry for another 3 mins. 
3. Next, add the ground coconut, mixed vegetables and soya chunks. Mix well and cook closed for about 10-12 mins until the vegetables are soft. There’s no need to add any water, the soya chunks will give out water as they cook. 
4. Once the vegetables are done, add salt, lower flame to sim and add the coconut milk. Mix well, bring to a soft boil and remove from fire.

    I was looking to make something good for dinner. As always, I knew I could rely on cookingandme.com and visited the website for soya chunks curry. Chanced upon this recipe and made it today. It has turned out so yummy. Waiting to surprise my husband by serving this curry with appam. Thank you, Nags!

    This looks nothing like any soya dish I have seen – asbolutely delicious!

    I thought about you recently while in Singapore having the famous Chicken Rice – if I'm not mistaken, this was the first place I had heard about this dish!

    Every time I see soya chunks, I remember you. We stopped buying it 😛 coz I hate it. But that tip about soaking in milk is a great tip for people like me. Will keep it in mind 🙂

    I did try Soya chunks once, didn't like texture or smell, although we know it's very nutritional to have. But I LOVE Kurma dishes, looks delicious.
