Soy chunks are available in any Indian store. Soak about 2 cups in hot water for about 10 minutes. While the soy meat soaks, chop half an onion, one hot green chilli and 4-5 large cloves of garlic. In a bowl, in 3/4 cup of water, dissolve corn flour until the water viscosity starts to just thicken. Add the green chilli and half of the garlic, plus a spoon of soy sauce and a little salt, and mix.
Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan. Drain the soaked soy chunks and gently squeeze to get the water out. Then dump the soy in the bowl of cornflour mix. Flash-fry the soy in the oil just long enough for the coating to look dark brown and remove from oil.
In a wok, heat a spoon of oil and add to it the onions and the rest of the garlic. Add 2-3 tablespoons of soy sauce and a spoon of garlic-chilli sauce or paste, plus a pinch of garam masala and some salt and pepper. Add a dash of water and then the fried soy chunks, and cook on high heat for the 2 min it takes for the water to evaporate. Serve piping hot with a little cilantro and your favorite carb!
