soya green peas methi ki sabzi is a delightful dish that combines the earthy flavors of fenugreek leaves with the protein-rich goodness of soya chunks.

The soya methi masala recipe typically involves soaking soya chunks for a tender texture, followed by cooking them with onions, ginger, garlic, and a blend of warming spices. To elevate the richness, many recipes incorporate vibrant tomato pulp and a deep, caramelized brown onion paste for a richer texture and flavour.

If using dried leaves, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes before chopping.
