A s a kid, I used to eat these Chunks or meal maker, which I loved a lot. Soya chunks cutlet, pulav, korma or biryani…. whatever it is, I love it from my heart. Though it does not have any flavor, it has the tendency of absorbing any flavors you dunk them in. Many varieties of dishes can be prepared using these chunks. Soya chunks are very good for health. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and they also help to reduce cholesterol. These are the best sources of essential omega-3 fatty acids. These are less in fat and may help reduce heart diseases. I think these informations are enough to add soya protein in your daily diet. Todays post is about soya chunks biryani which is a very easy and tasty dish. This biryani goes well with raita, pickle, papad and so on but I made frittata which is another one pot meal. I didn't add many veggies. My frittata was a simple one. Frittata is an Italian omelet, in which most of the veggies are added and then baked in the oven. As I was alone, I m...

S oya chunks or “meal maker” is my latest fascination. I love them in all my curries, cutlets, rice and the list will go on. As soya chunks are a great source of protiens and vitamin B12, I make it a point to buy these and store, so that I can use any time I want and I mostly include this in my little one’s food. She loves them a lot. I made this Pulao for lunch on a weekend so that I dont have to spend much time in kitchen :) and also a pulao can also make a complete meal by itself. I make this often with different combinations of veggies. Soya is very healthy and low in fat and has a high protein content, which promotes growth. This can be made easily without any effort. I made this in a pressure cooker as this will take less time to prepare. Only thing to note with cooking rice in a cooker is that we should know the  correct time limit and measurement for the rice to become fluffy and still not stick to each other. Ingredients: Soya chunks- 1cup Onions ( sliced )- 2nos Ginger an...

T he other day when I was searching for something in my kitchen, I got a packet of soya chunks which I bought long back and was abandoned in one of the containers. My mom used to make so many different varieties of dishes with soya chunks but my Husband never liked this (he is more picky than my daughter :-)). So once when I saw this in super market I just picked this pack and there it was lying down in my kitchen as if no body wanted it. So I thought of making a curry which will taste exactly like chicken when soya chunks are added, but I was not sure whether he will eat it or not after seeing the soya chunks in the curry. Then I got  an idea of making soya cutlets, so that he wont come to know that I have added soya chunks as soya is minced and added in this. I had some left over cooked bread fruit in my refrigerator with which I made breadfruit thoran the previous day. Instead of potatoes I thought of using this bread fruit for binding the cutlets. These came out very well and m...
