Every time I shared a story in Instagram about soya chunks, I received quite a few messages asking about soya chunks and requesting to share a recipe. So, here is a very easy dish that can be prepared in less than 30 minutes. If you are using the curry paste, it further reduces the preparation time. In case you missed my curry paste recipe, here is a link. This curry paste is such a time saver, especially on busy days. If you enjoy Indian curries, stocking up on a batch of this curry paste will come very handy. It stays good in the freezer for several months.
What are Soya Chunks?
Soya Chunks, also known as meal maker, are textured vegetable protein that is extracted from soybeans wheat, oats and cottonseeds. It’s high in nutrition, high in protein, lightweight, cooks really fast and has a high shelf life when dehydrated. In India, the most commonly brand used is Nutrela and we often refer to the dish as Nutrela Curry. These are often sold as bite size nuggets/chunks or granules or mini chunks. There are various different ways that you can prepare a soya chunks curry. You could load it with veggies or potatoes or make a tomato base gravy, endless options really. The one I am sharing today is a super simple one where I have kept soya chunks as the hero of the dish and flavored it with my curry paste.
