This is another one of those recipes I jotted down in my little trusty diary during my India trip. I couldn’t find soy flakes in India grocery here, so I bought 2 boxes from India. This recipe goes really well with rotis and chapathis.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Soy Flakes
- 1 Onion – small, chopped
- 2 Tomatoes – ripe, chopped
- 3 chilies Green
- 1 tsp Ginger Garlic + paste
- 2 tbsps Coconut (dry or fresh)
- 2 tbsps Poppy seeds (Khus khus)
- ½ tsp chili powder Red
- to taste Salt
Instructions
- Grind coconut and poppy seeds with water into a smooth paste.
- Soak soy flakes in 2-3 cups of hot water until ready to use.
- Heat 2 tsp oil in a pan, sauté onions till lightly browned. Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for a minute.
- Add green chilies, tomatoes, coconut paste, cook covered till the tomatoes are tender.
- Drain soy flakes, squeeze out the extra water and add to the tomato mixture along with red chili powder and salt. Sprinkle water if the gravy is too dry.
Notes
We had our soy masala curry with jowar roti (thanks to Shilpa for the easy jowar roti recipe) and pesarapappu charu. Healthy and delicious meal.

Hi Pavani
I have an unopened pack of soy flakes. Will try out your recipe. Also I remember seeing this version of jowar roti at aayi's site. But never tried it. My inlaws are famous for making this roti and I never attempted to make them. Will try now. Thanks.

Hi, I am delighted to have found this recipe. I have just bought a kilo packet of organic soya flakes online from Forest Whole Foods and was googling for recipes using them. This was the first one that came up and will definitely be a keeper. Thank you so much. I have found the above company to be excellent and thoroughly recommend them.
