Recipe for dhaba style Soya Keema Pav made with soya granules. Recipe with step by step pictures and video.

Soya keema pav – Dhaba style recipe –  Keema means minced meat. The texture of the cooked soya granules in spices and masala imitates the texture of minced meat. Its very filling and perfect to scoop up with butter toasted bread. This is perfect for parties. You can make the keema ahead of time. When guests arrive, just toast the bread and serve. Its sure a crowd pleaser. The main thing about this recipe is to cut the veggies like onion and tomato as fine as possible so big bits do not end up in the final dish. If you cannot chop fine, you can also grate the ingredients and add instead.

Here are some ingredients you can buy online
Soya Granules
Pav Bhaji Masala
Turmeric Powder

Heat oil in a pan and add in the cumin seeds. For a richer keema, you can throw in some butter for special occasions. Add in the finely chopped onions.

Add in the capsicum and the green peas. Green peas is optional. If you want a smoother texture of keema, you can omit the green peas. But we love green peas at home. So I have added the same.

Add in the drained keema.

Toasting the bread
Heat about a teaspoon of unsalted butter in a griddle. Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander leaves. Throw in some green chillies to toast in butter. Add in the pav / bread and toast well on both sides. Add more butter if necessary. Repeat with the remaining bread.
