Soya Mutter Pasanda
by Tarla Dalal
A scrumptious subzi that is also very simple to make! Green peas and soya chunks come together in an all-new style! Most of the preparations can be done well in advance, so you can whip this dish together in a jiffy! Boiled onion paste and tomato puree can be made and stored in the refrigerator to be used as required. Boiled onion paste imparts a good flavour and reduces the cooking time. A dash of cream adds a royal touch; feel free to add 2 to 3 tablespoons if you want it richer! Relish with roti or steaming hot rice.
