Add the Chilli and Corriander powders in medium heat and 2 tbsp water sothat the Masalas don't burn.Once the masalas are cooked,open the cooker and remove the soya Chunks from it to the sautéed masalas .Add the pepper & garamasala and fry this as we do for Beef fry by adding oil if required twice or more 1 tbsp at a time till u get the dark brown color.
