Method:

Now add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, chili powder and cinnamon powder, add some water to avoid burning spices. Fry till it starts leaving edges of the wok and nice aroma comes.
Now add ground soya nuggets and sauté for 3-4 mins then add soaked Dalia and lentil. Add sufficient water and salt, cover it and let it cook till nice soft and cooked.
Now add almond clove powder and beaten curd. Adjust water and Let it boil .
Add chopped mint and coriander leaves and lemon juice, adjust salt .Simmer for 5 mins and done.

I used red lentil in it but if you have barley then go for it otherwise lentil too give a delicious flavour and texture to the dish.
