Soya Keema Matar was something I have to want to make for a long time. I bookmarked this recipe from Sanjeev Kapoor’s Book. A great recipe if you are a vegetarian. Keema is traditionally made of minced mutton or chicken. This is a vegetarian version of it without compromising a bit of taste, texture and flavors.
Soya granules are excellent vegetarian sources of protein, vitamin B and calcium. Soya keema matar is good substitute to mutton keema in terms of taste and nutrition and it goes well with chappatis and rice. So here's a simple Indian style curry of Soya keema matar.

I am an Electronic Engineer and now a Housewife. 'Cooking' was never my passion. My mom & my relatives would have never thought that I could cook someday, let alone the thought of me having my own cooking blog site. After marriage I started cooking for my husband, initially it was a job for me and I never realized when that job became my passion. Now Cooking moves me & Cooking for my family & friends is a fantastic way to bond, reduce stress, and feel satisfied.
