Ingredients

• 4 sticks Soya chaap (unsweetened, keto-compliant)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or ghee
• 3 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 1 medium Green chili (finely chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Remove soya chaap sticks from the wooden skewers and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Lightly toss the soya chaap pieces in coconut flour to create a light coating.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee in a non-stick pan over medium heat and shallow fry the soya chaap pieces until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they splutter.

Step 5

Add the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato puree, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Cook the mixture until the oil starts to separate from the masala, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 7

Add 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well-incorporated.

Step 9

Add the fried soya chaap pieces and salt to the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, allowing the soya chaap to absorb the flavors of the masala.

Step 10

Sprinkle garam masala and crush the kasuri methi between your palms before adding it to the pan. Mix well.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve hot. This Keto Soya Chaap Masala pairs beautifully with keto-friendly options like cauliflower rice or almond flour naan.
