SOYA ALOO CURRY RECIPE/SOYA CHUNKS AND POTATO COOKED IN ONION TOMATO GRAVY


Soya is my all time favorite from childhood and mom usually adds in soya in most of her gravy dishes either veg or non veg and even in rice varieties...  Soya chunks are made from soy beans and they work well as meat substitutes. Vegans forgo the consumption of meat and meat derivatives, which leaves them looking for alternatives to meet their nutritional needs and that is soya chunks and it is high source of protein and omega fatty acid.

KEERAI THANDU RAITA/SPINACH STEM MIXED WITH CURD RAITA

I tasted seafood naan in Sakunthala restaurant and that's the first time I tasted stuffed naan with seafood it was yummy simple and delicious to have it plain or with some spicy korma as side dish...Then thought of trying it at home, the filling which used in restaurant was plain with no masala... But I just tweaked to suit my taste buds and tried this Indian version with masala and wheat flour...
