Potato soya chunk curry/ aaloo soya vadi ki sabzi/ nutrella recipe

Potato soya chunk curry

Soya chunks are a very underrated yet very nutritious vegetarian dish. For vegetarians its very difficult to incorporate daily proteins in their diet. Their comes soya in the picture. The residue remaining after preparing soyabean oil is sun-dried & made into chunks. which is very high in protein, iron, calcium & omega 3 fatty acids. Since these soya chunks have no flavor so to make them tasty we make different varieties of cuisines out of that. This time Indian eating habits have come up with conventional soya & aloo curry, which can be enjoyed with hot steaming rice or fulka or hot parathas. Try our other North-Indian curries to be enjoyed with fulkas or parathas.
