Soya is not a favorite food at my place and this I have mentioned while I shared ‘Soya Khadhi’ recipe too. However the adamant me can’t just let my boys skip so much of nutrition. Some how I am obsessed with the goodness Soya has and that makes me keep experimenting with it to make them enjoy eating Soya. So Chilly Soya Chunks was actually an outcome of one such experiment. Offcourse it took me couple of attempts to work on its taste but it can be a good non oily starter and another addition to my Indo Chinese recipes.
My husband who also happens to be the official taster of my recipes and experiments gave a clear pass to this one and though it’s not one of the extraordinary dishes but for a working couple who want to try out easy yet tasty recipes from home this is highly recommended. I would mind making this as a side dish with some Pulav on a Friday night.
I took mini chunks for ‘Chilly Soya Chunks’ but you can use normal size chunks also. However soak it on milk water so it loses it strong soya flavor which many people don’t like.
