Method:
• Set water for boiling, add tea bag, salt, sugar, soya chunks and granules, stir and cook for 6-7 minutes. I've used tea bag, if in case you don’t have tea bag, then you can simply tie tea powder in a muslin cloth and leave it in the water.
• Once the soya is cooked use a sieve to strain the water, further rinse with fresh water.
• Now, use a spatula and press to remove excess water. You can also use a cloth to squeeze out the water efficiently.
• Add all the ingredients of the tomato puree in grinding jar, and grind to make a fine puree. Keep it aside to be used later.
• Set a wok on medium heat, add oil and the whole spices, along with onions, stir and cook until the onions are golden brown in colour.
• Separately, add fried onions and little water in a grinding jar and make fine paste. Keep aside for now.
• As the onions turn light golden brown in colour, add the ginger garlic paste, stir & cook for 4-5 minutes on medium flame.
• Now, lower the flame and add kashmiri red chilli powder, stir once and further add the remaining powdered spices, stir once and add 300-400 ml hot water & grinded brown paste, stir & cook until the ghee separates & the masala is cooked really well.
• Now, add the prepared tomato puree, salt to taste and cook for 7-8 minutes on medium flame.
• Further add spinach, stir & cook for 4-5 minutes, further add the cooked soya chunks & granules, stir & cook for 3-4 minutes.
• Add additional 500 ml hot water, dark soy sauce & red chilli sauce & stir well, cover & cook for 202-5 minutes on very low flame, do stir in intervals.
• Further add capsicum, ginger, green chillies, kasuri methi & garam masala, stir & cook for 3-4 minutes on medium high flame.
• Check for the seasoning and adjust accordingly, add lemon juice and finish with freshly chopped coriander leaves, nutri gravy is ready. Makes sure to give a tadka before serving.
Assembly
Ingredients:
• Butter as required
• Green chillies 3-4 nos. (slit/chopped)
• Pyaaz ke lacche (1/3rd cup)
• Capsicum (julienned) (1/3rd cup)
• Carrots (julienned) (1/3rd cup)
• Prepared nutri gravy
• Kulcha as required
• Fresh coriander
Method:
• To give the final tadka before serving, set a pan on medium heat, add butter, green chillies, pyaaz ke lacche, capsicum & carrots, stir & cook briefly on high flame, add the prepared nutri gravy, stir & cook on high flame while breaking down the bigger nutri chunks, finish by adding freshly chopped coriander leaves, you can also give the tadka in batches and adjust the quantity of carrots, capsicum, green chillies as required.
• Toast the kulchas as well in the same tawa so the kulchas also somewhere get the gravy flavour over it, use butter to toast them, if you're having a big tawa, then you can scrape off the nutri gravy on the edges of the tawa and toast the pav in the centre as it gets the flavour of the nutri gravy.
• Your Amritsari style nutri kulcha is ready, serve hot with some onion rings on side and some red and green spicy chutney.
