Method

For soya mutter ki subzi

To make {span class="bold1"}soya matar ki sabzi{/span}, combine the soya chunks, salt and 1 cup of hot water in a bowl and keep aside to soak for 10 minutes. Discard the drained water and keep the squeezed soya chunks aside.
Combine the curds, besan, milk and ¾ cup of water in a deep bowl, whisk well till no lumps remain and keep aside.
Heat the oil in a non-stick kadhai and add the cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida, ginger-green chilli paste, garlic paste and onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, turmeric powder, chilli powder and coriander-cumin seeds powder, mix well and cook on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
Lower the flame, add the curds-beasn mixture and ½ cup water, mix well and cook on a slow flame for 1 minute, while stirring continuously.
Add the soya chunks, green peas, sugar and salt, mix well and cook on a slow flame for 1 minute, while stirring once in between.
Serve the {span class="bold1"}soya matar ki sabzi{/span} immediately.

Handy tip:

Once the soya chunks have been soaked, drained and squeezed thoroughly at step 1, use them immediately to make this subzi, else the soya chunks might break if kept for too long.
