Drain water from soaked karela and wash well to remove extra salt.

In another pan, heat the remaining oil and add the remaining cumin seeds and chopped garlic. When the garlic changes colour, add the onions and sauté till it turns soft.
Mix ginger-garlic paste, chopped chillies, all the other spices. Stir well and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Now mix 2 packets of Saffola Soya Bhurji and add 300 ml water. Stir it well, cover it and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the tomato puree, stir nicely and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Now mix fried karela and stir well. Add beaten yoghurt, stir once and sauté it on low flame for 4-5 minutes. Adjust the salt as per your taste.
