Keema Matar (Vegetarian)

This dish is made with minced meat and peas originally but to make a vegetarian version I substituted minced meat with Soya Granule… It came out really gud and was very easy to make… had it with homemade curd and thin chapatis….. mmmmmm tasted so guuudddd…. and vikas has asked me to  make stuff parantha with the little bit which is left…

This quantity will serve 2 ppl…

  2. Why milk? Is there a taste difference when we soak in milk instead of water?
