Soya bean dry curry recipe | Soya bean recipes

April 11, 2011 by Raks Anand 80 Comments /

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!!

Mustard – 3/4 tsp


Curry leaves – a sprig


soya-bean

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.
  2. soya bean step1

  3. Grind the items given under the table ‘To grind’ to a coarse paste and keep a side.
  4. soya bean step2

  5. 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.
  6. soya bean step3

  7. Add turmeric and the ground paste and add 1/4 cup water and mix well. 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!
  8. soya bean step4

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!

Serve as accompaniment for rice or enjoy as such!!

    Any curry receipe needs to take care of salt, sweetness, sourness n pungency but this receipe turns out flat. Moreover, for strong flavours of species, they need to be roasted. Pls check if you have missed out on any of these.

      I always make it this way, with many vegetables too. If you salt it right, it’s gonna be fine. Also the masalas are roasted as they get cooked and I have written in last step to cook until the masala starts turning brown. So please try again, you will like it.
