Notes

  • Tips to make the curry more delicious:
    Use meat masala instead of curry powder for a spicier and meatier taste.
  • Marinade soya chunks with little yogurt, and meat masala with salt and red chili powder for half hour and cook it with the masala before adding water.
  • Use jackfruit instead of cauliflower and pressure cook the sautéed jackfruit with the soya chunks.
    Add fresh garam masala for a spicy punch.
