Add 2 tsp Ghee to a hot pan. Add bay leaf and rice. Fry the rice in low flame for 2 minutes. Then add

In a microwave safe vessel cook the soy chunk in salt water for approximately 5 minutes. Drain the water and keep it aside.
In another pan add 2 tsp oil. Add the cut onions. Fry till it is lightly brown. Add  cooked soy chunks turmeric powder, pepper powder and peas and fry them in low flame. Mix the fried chunks to the rice and serve it with thick curd and pickle.
