Soya Malai Kofta Curry

I always cook with soya granules and nuggets but when i was going thru Priya's blog,Priya's Versatile Recipes: Low Fat Soya Aloo Kofta she had this low fat soya aloo koftas , which inspire me to make those koftas with little twist of my ingredients and put them in curry. As you all know soya chunks are one of the most important source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. You can use same gravy which I used for my Malai Kofta   or you can make this one.
