Soak soya meat in kettle of hot water till spongey (cover with plate while soaking).

Cook the ingredients for 7-10 minutes or until the onions turn slightly golden and the tomato wedges become easy to crush with your wooden spoon.

Reduce heat if you notice the ingredients sticking to the pan but continue cooking over low heat.
Step 6
Once the ingredients in the pan turn soft, add turmeric(1/2 tsp), curry powder(1 and 1/2 tbs), garam masala, chilli powder(1/2 tsp), and salt to season and combine all ingredients well, finally add the tomato sauce(1 tbs).
Step 7
Mix all the ingredients in the pan well and make sure the spices are not sticking to the pan.

Check the taste and make the necessary adjustments to suit you.
Step 9
You can add more curry powder(1 teaspoon more)if you find the curry taste is not coming through.

Once the gravy cooks for 5 minutes, add the soya chunks.
