2. Put a spoonful of oil in the frying pan. Add all the soybean chunks and two pinches of salt in the oil, and shallow fry it on medium flame. Don't fry too much, or else they will turn flat. Then take out all in the bowl.
3. Again put oil in the frying pan, and let it get hot. Put the cumin in. When cumin starts to crackle, add finely chopped ginger, garlic, and green chilies, and fry well.
4. Add the chopped onions into the frying pan with the spice mixture, and fry until they get slightly pink, not brown.
5. Now prepare the spice composition. One and a half tsp of coriander powder, 1/4 teaspoon of Garam masala, and turmeric powder, half tsp of red chili powder in the bowl. Optionally, add about half a teaspoon of Chickpea masala for good flavor.
6. Add a little water to the spices and mix well. Add it to the onion in the frying pan, and roast the onion-spices mixture until it releases the oil and smells punty. Add potatoes and fry while stirring with spices for about a minute or two. Fry potatoes till they become soft. Do not cook much.
7. Finally, add fried soybean chunks. Pour a cup or two of water into it. Add little more water afterward if necessary. Add salt as per taste and mix, and after covering it, cook on low flame until the potatoes and soybeans chunks have cooked well.
