Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Soak the soya granules in hot water for 10–15 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Keep aside.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
- Add split urad dal and sauté until the dal turns light brown.
- Mix in ginger–green chilli paste and chopped onions. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until onions turn light brown.
- Add grated carrot and sauté for 2–3 minutes so it softens slightly.
- Add the drained soya granules, salt and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on medium flame, stirring occasionally, so everything heats through.
- Switch off stove, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
Notes
You can add steamed green peas or chopped tomatoes for extra fibre and flavour. Use coconut oil instead of regular oil for healthier fat choice.
