Soak your pumpkin seeds if you haven’t already and set them aside. Drain the beans and set aside (you can also use 1.5 cups of cooked beans of choice).
Dry toast the spices: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, and black peppercorns and toast until the fennel seeds change color. Then add them to a spice grinder or coffee grinder and grind them until a coarse powder forms. And set aside.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, shallots, green chilies, curry leaves, and a good pinch of salt, and cook until the onion is golden.
Add splashes of water in between to help the onion brown evenly. Once the onion is golden add the ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cayenne, and soy sauce and mix in. Cook for a minute then add the drained beans, pumpkin seeds, ground spice mix from above, and salt and mix in.
Add the water and lemon juice and cover the pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes. Then remove the lid and add the non-dairy yogurt and stir. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. Add more water for more sauce if needed. Simmer for a minute and switch off the heat. Garnish with some cilantro and serve with flatbread, dosa, rice, idli, or artisan or sourdough bread.
