Soya chunks: 1 cup (soaked)
Tomato: 4 (large)
Salt to taste
Red chilli powder: 1 tsp

Boil green peas in an open pan until soft. Drain excess water and keep aside. Wash soya chunks thoroughly and soak them in warm water for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, drain the water and wash the chunks again squeezing them to remove water-soaked by them. Keep them aside. Heat one tablespoon of oil in a non-stick pan. Saute finely chopped fenugreek leaves on medium-low flame until all the moisture evaporates. Stir occasionally. Turn off the flame and keep aside.
Make a paste of tomatoes. Heat one tablespoon of oil and add tomato paste. Cook it over medium-low flame until it leaves oil on the sides. Add soya chunks, salt, turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Mix well. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes on low flame. Add boiled peas, sautéed fenugreek leaves and lemon juice. Give a good stir. Cook for another five minutes on low flame stirring occasionally. Turn off the flame. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve hot with chapati or paratha.
