Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Rehydrate Soy Curls
Pour 1 cup of dry soy curls into a strainer. Add hot water and let them rehydrate for 5-7 minutes. Squeeze out any excess water thoroughly.
Step 2: Season Soy Curls
Transfer the rehydrated soy curls to a bowl. Add 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin powder, 1 tsp coriander powder, 1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp tomato paste. Mix well until the soy curls are evenly coated with the spices.
Step 3: Bake Soy Curls
Spread the seasoned soy curls evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until they are crispy and slightly browned.
Step 4: Sauté Whole Spices
In a large pan, heat 2 tbsp oil over medium heat. Add 2 bay leaves, 1/2 tsp black peppercorns, 4-5 cloves, and 2-3 green cardamom pods. Sauté for 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.
Step 5: Sauté Onions
Add 1 medium finely chopped onion and 1/2 tsp salt to the pan. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are deeply caramelized and browned.
Step 6: Add Aromatics and Ground Spices
Add 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp ginger paste, 1 tsp chili powder/paprika, 1 tsp coriander powder, and 1 tsp cumin powder to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of garlic and ginger disappears and the spices are fragrant.
Step 7: Deglaze the Pan
Pour in 1/4 cup water to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Cook until the water evaporates and the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 8: Add Tomatoes
Add 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes and 1/2 tsp salt to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the mixture thickens into a sauce.
Step 9: Add Fresh Aromatics
Stir in 1-2 chopped green chilies and 1 tbsp julienned fresh ginger. Cook for 1 minute to infuse their flavors into the sauce.
Step 10: Incorporate Non-Dairy Yogurt
Stir in 1/2 cup plain unsweetened non-dairy yogurt. Mix well until it is fully combined and the gravy becomes creamy.
Step 11: Simmer Gravy
Add 1/2 cup water to thin the gravy to your desired consistency. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Step 12: Add Baked Soy Curls
Add the baked soy curls to the simmering gravy. Stir to coat them evenly with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the soy curls to absorb the flavors.
Step 13: Garnish and Serve
Garnish the Adraki Ginger Curry with 2 tbsp chopped cilantro and 1 tbsp julienned fresh ginger. Serve hot with rice or your preferred accompaniment.
