Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delicious snack:

• 6 Bread slices
• As needed Butter
• ½ cup Soya Chunks (about 85g)
• ½ cup Onion (chopped) (about 75g)
• ½ cup Tomato (chopped) (about 120g)
• 1 inch piece Ginger
• 3-4 Garlic cloves
• 1 Green Chilli (finely chopped)
• 2 tsp Curd/plain yogurt
• To taste Salt
• 1 tbsp Oil (about 15ml)
• ½ tsp Chilli Powder (about 2.5g)
• ¼ tsp Turmeric powder (about 1g)
• 2 tsp Coriander powder (about 6g)
• ¾ tsp Kitchen king masala or garam masala (about 3g)

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec! Soya chunks are a fantastic source of plant-based protein, making this a really satisfying snack. You can find them easily in most Indian grocery stores.

Now, about that spice blend… Kitchen King Masala is a North Indian favorite – it’s a little different than garam masala, with a slightly tangier flavor. If you can’t find it, garam masala works beautifully too! Don’t worry, it won’t ruin the recipe.

As for the bread, I usually use regular white bread, but you can totally experiment. A slightly thicker bread holds up really well to the filling. My grandma always used a local bakery bread, which gave it the best texture.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking!

1. First, boil the soya chunks in salted water for about 3 minutes. This softens them up nicely. Then, drain them well and coarsely grind them. Don’t make it a paste – you want some texture!
2. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, green chilies, ginger, and garlic. Sauté until the onions turn translucent and fragrant.
3. Now, add the chopped tomatoes, chilli powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomatoes soften and become mushy – about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the yogurt and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. This adds a lovely tanginess to the filling.
5. Add the ground soya chunks to the pan and mix well. Cook until the mixture is dry and everything is nicely combined. This usually takes about 5-7 minutes.
6. Time to assemble! Butter the bread slices generously. Spread the soya chunk filling evenly over the buttered bread.
7. Toast the bread slices in a pan or toaster until they’re golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them – you don’t want them to burn!

Expert Tips

• Don’t overcook the soya chunks, or they’ll become rubbery.
• Adjust the amount of green chili and chili powder to your spice preference.
• For a richer flavor, add a teaspoon of kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves) while sautéing the tomatoes.

Variations

• Vegan Adaptation: Swap the butter for a plant-based butter alternative and use plant-based yogurt. It’s just as delicious!
• Spice Level: My friend loves things really spicy, so she adds an extra green chili and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Feel free to adjust to your liking.
• Festival Adaptations: This makes a fantastic quick snack during Janmashtami or Navratri fasting (if you’re following a diet that allows soya chunks).

Serving Suggestions

Honestly, this Soya Chunk Bread Toast is perfect on its own! It’s a complete snack in itself. But if you’re feeling fancy, you can serve it with a side of mint chutney or a cup of hot chai.

Storage Instructions

This is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just reheat it before spreading it on the bread.

FAQs

1. Can I make the soya chunk filling ahead of time?

Absolutely! You can make the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. It actually allows the flavors to meld together even more.

2. What is Kitchen King Masala and can I substitute it?

Kitchen King Masala is a popular spice blend in North India. If you can’t find it, garam masala is a great substitute. You can also find Kitchen King Masala online.

Regular white bread works well, but a slightly thicker bread like whole wheat or multigrain will hold up better to the filling.

You can try dry-roasting the spices before adding the tomatoes, and then using a non-stick pan to sauté the onions and tomatoes with a little water.

Definitely! Feel free to add some finely chopped peas or carrots along with the tomatoes for extra nutrition and texture.
