Add one more tomato as soya chunks are bland……. Also don’t add water after adding the masalas…. Make sure to saute it well in the oil itself along with the onion tomato paste. Add water When you were about to add soya chunks… That too little bit…. It will taste delicious
Thank you for the suggestion 😊🙏🏽
Hi Preethi… Sorry for that dear.. I am not sure why it didn't turn out good for you. May be you can try adding some cashew paste like that to make it rich…
Didn't taste good . Don't know if I went wrong
