Instructions

Soak soya granules in water for some time say 10 mins. Boil potatoes. Peel and mash when cool.
Add soaked soya granules, finely chopped chilies, grated ginger, salt, red chili powder, garam masala powder, chopped green coriander leaves and mix well.
Can add little finely chopped garlic to the soya mixture, if you like its texture and taste.
Heat oil in a kadahi for frying soya balls. Make small lemon sized balls from this soya potato mixture.
In a bowl, take maida or corn flour and add a tbspn water to make a thick paste.
Dip the soya balls in this paste for binding and deep fry them in hot oil. When fried, Transfer to a plate with paper towels.
For the gravy, take the chopped tomatoes, onion, ginger-garlic and chilies and grind to a paste.
Take a pan and add little oil and add tadka of jeera. Add ginger garlic paste and saute. Then add the grinded tomato onion paste and stir fry for 2-4 mins.
Add salt, turmeric, coriander and red chili powder to it. Cook for 2-3 mins.Add soya sauce, chilli sauce and tomato sauces to this garvy and Cook for 2 mins.
If you like more garlicky flavor, add few finely chopped garlic too.Add water to adjust the consistency of gravy and cook for 3-4 mins.Add garam masala powder to it.
Once gravy is thick and leaves oil from sides, your gravy is ready.Taste the gravy and adjust seasonings accordingly.
Lastly, add the soya balls and close the lid. Garnish with coriander leaves. (I prefer adding the soya manchurian balls just before serving in the bowls and add gravy above it. This avoids breaking of the soya balls.)

I am a housewife passionate towards cooking variety vegeterian food. Since I love change in the food regularly, I keep experimenting and innovating the daily food with simple twists so that they look different and maintain the taste. Variation in look, taste and preperation is my mantra in day to day cooking.
