Instructions
- Soften Nutri (Soybeans): Place 1 kilo of nutri in a small open vessel and pour boiling water over it. Let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes until completely soft. Then squeeze out excess water.
- Prepare Potatoes and Nutri: Boil potatoes but keep them slightly undercooked. Heat mustard oil in a pan, add nutri and potatoes. Add 1/2 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Fry for 4-5 minutes and then remove from pan.
- Roast Onion: In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons oil and heat. Add one thinly sliced onion and fry for 6-7 minutes until red. Remove and cool, then grind the roasted onion.
- Prepare Hot Spices: In the same pan, add one finely chopped onion and fry. Add whole spices: green cardamom, black cardamom, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and star anise. Add 1/4 teaspoon Kashmiri red chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder. Add two handfuls of chopped green chilies, 2 teaspoons crushed ginger, 2 teaspoons roasted garlic, and one chopped peeled tomato. Roast until oil separates.
- Add Ground Spices and Yogurt: Add 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon roasted cumin powder, and 1/4 teaspoon garam masala. Whisk 1/2 cup fresh curd (not sour) and add quickly to the pan, followed by salt (about 1 teaspoon). Stir and cook the spices well for 6-7 minutes until oil floats on top.
- Combine Vegetables and Cook: Add the fried potatoes and nutri to the spices. Mix well and cook for 4-5 minutes to absorb flavors. Add about 1.5 glasses of hot water to adjust consistency. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender but not too thick or thin.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti or paratha.
