Soya-bean-dry-curry

        My MIL made this once for me and I was surprised when I knew it was soya bean. Then every time when I go to Chennai,my MIL has a pack of this dry soya bean to pass it to me. I make this curry just like her or make it as a simple sundal with no onion or garlic. Love it either way and eat as such … I make this when I run out of veggies and the job gets easily done in the early morning,if you soak overnight, morning just have to pressure cook in a separate vessel when we keep rice and no cutting veggie part,we can easily make an accompaniment for rice. Club this with any rasam so its a perfect, comfort lunch box idea!!

Dry-soya-bean-curry

 

Ingredients:

Dried soya bean 1/2 cup
Onion 1
Turmeric 1/8 tsp
Salt as needed
To grind to coarse paste
Coconut,grated 2-3 tblsp
coriander seeds 1 & 1/2 tsp
pepper 1 tsp
Jeera 1 tsp
Red chilli 2
Garlic,small 2
Water as needed
To temper
Oil 2 tsp
Mustard 3/4  tsp
Curry leaves a sprig

Method:

  1. Soak the soya bean over night,next day,drain water and pressure cook with salt and little water (1/4 cup). If you don't add salt,then the bean will get over cooked and get mashed.

    s2
  3. Heat a pan with oil and temper with the items given under ‘to temper’ table. Add chopped onion and fry till transparent. Add the cooked soya beans.
    s3
  4. Add turmeric and the ground paste and add 1/4 cup water and mix well. 
    s4
  5. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the water evaporates and the masala starts browning.Add a tsp of coconut oil for an extra flavour!

                                      Serve as accompaniment for rice or enjoy as such!!

Notes:
  • You can also try making the simple way like we do other sundals too..
  • This masala we grind is very very flavorful,while you grind you can smell it ,the whole house would smell while you make this curry!

  73. I tried it, The paste smells wonderfully CREAM-Y when it is cooking in the frying pan with onion. The smell reminds me of something really creamy like butter chicken.
