#CA26 #garam_masala - Soya is a great substitute to any non-vegetarian dish. Full of protein, it tastes just like mutton / chicken mince. So here is a yummy recipe of soya keema matar with a twist. The gravy is green based with some coriander-mint-dill leaves, along with other basic ingredients as the base of the gravy.

This dish is a vegetarian version of the classic Mumbai style Green Mutton Keema. The original recipe, bought to India by the Persians, is typically served for breakfast with buttered pav in all Irani restaurants across the city. The dill leaves along with coriander and mint leaves imparts a distinct flavor to the dish. Moreover, the vibrant green color makes it further more appetizing. You can drizzle some lime juice over the end product and serve along with buttered pav, steamed rice, jeera rice or any variety of Indian bread.
