SPICY SOYA MASALA

Soya chunks is an excellent source of protein and rich in vitamin B. I make it a point to include this on my diet :) Though it does not have its own flavour, but has the power to absorb the flavouring when it is mixed with the gravy. Whenever I feel like having non veg or whenever I crave to have when the meat is not at home, I satisfy my taste buds preparing such curries :) because it is known to be synonyms for vegetable meat. Now coming back with recipe, it is a simple and healthy dish where cooked soya are added to the freshly Indian spices, onion and tomato. This yummy and pleasantly spicy curry makes a perfect side dish with chapati or paratha or naan,
