Another great recipe from the range of Sri Lankan curries. Without chicken broth, it is perfect meal for vegetarians and vegans, full of proteins. If you follow the recipe 100%, it is quite spicy. If you do not like it too spicy, better reduce amount of red chili powder and check heat level of garam masala you have available.

Process

So first cook soya meat according to the instructions on the pack. In our case it was cooking in salty boiling water for 10 minutes. Then remove excess water. Add fenugreek, chicken broth, salt, turmeric, cumin and chilli powder. Let it marinate.

Meanwhile heat oil on a big flame, add garlic, tomatoes, green chillies, red onions, ginger, pandan leaves and curry leaves. Mix well, reduce the heat and fry for about 5 minutes.

Then add garam masala to the soy meat and add the mix to the pan with other ingredients. Mix well again, add bit of coconut milk and cook about 18 minutes uncovered. Then add coconut cream and cook covered for 3 more minutes. If you have coconut cream in can only, separate it on 3 parts, firt use 1 part of coconut cream with 2 parts of water and before the end 2 parts of coconut cream with 1 part of water.

Serve it with rice and other Sri Lankan curries.
