  • Soya Granules – 100 gms (1 cup)
  • Onion – 100 gms (1 big finely chopped)
  • Green Chillies – 2 finely chopped
  • Coriander – finely chopped
  • Salt – as per taste
  • Oil – 2 tsp
  • Jeera – 1 tsp
  • Garlic – 2-3 pods grated
  • Potato – 100 gms (1 big boiled and mashed)
  • Carrot – 1 diced
  • Corn – ¼ cup

Dry Spices:

  • Turmeric – ½ tsp
  • Dhania powder – ½ tsp

  • Garam Masala – ½ tsp
  • Salt as per taste

 

Method:

1] Boil 3 cups of water. Add soya granules, boil further for 5 minutes. Switch off the flame and cover the vessel with a lid for 10 minutes. Drain the water, press and remove any trace of water. Mash with a fork or crumble with fingers.

In a pan (kadai), heat 1 tsp oil, add jeera, let it crackle. Add finely chopped onion, sauté till it becomes translucent. Add grated garlic & chillies; sauté for a minute or till the raw aroma goes away. Add the cooked and crumbled soya granules, add all the spices and sauté till this mixture becomes dry.

2] In another pan, sauté diced carrot, peas and corn in 1 tsp of oil and add salt.

3] Mix the mashed potato with salt and pepper.

4] In a serving bowl, add the minced soya and form a layer. Spread the sautéed vegetables on top of the soya layer. Top it up with a layer of mashed potato and your shepherd’s pie is ready.

You can also have it baked. Place it in an oven (around 200 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes.
