Soya makes a great addition to the protein component of a balanced vegetarian meal plan. It’s my favorite veg recipe during X’mas or Easter lent season. Makes a good replacement for meat. I used Nutrela’s soya chunks and would highly recommend it. It’s the largest selling soya foods brand in India. Soy meat or soya chunks or nuggets is a defatted soy flour product, a by-product of extracting soybean oil.

A soya dish cannot be easier than this. Here's a yummy appetizer with soya.

  • Heat oil in a pan and add soya chunks pieces in batches. In every batch add curry leaves along with soya chunks. Deep fry the soya until it's done. Don't overfry. It would turn hard, and would be difficult to chew.

Notes

  • I always start with frying single soya piece to adjust the salt and then start frying in batches.
  • Make sure soya pieces are not overcooked. It makes it hard.
