I had a huge container of soya chunks which was in the cupboard for quite a while. I almost forgot about it. Few days back i found that and wanted to use it soon and empty it. So i decided to make soya chunks pulav, since i have tried biryani before and served it with this one. I still have quite a lot of them, so i am just telling you the recipes which i am gonna try with it as a teaser for you. The dishes are going to be soya kola urundai, soya 65. Will make them soon and share it with you all. Now you can check out my other soya chunks recipes..

Thanks Aarti, would like to try. How is the texture of the soya? Is it very chewy typically like soya chunks? My husband seems to hate soya n I have a packet full to finish

Hello, this dish looked very tempting,so I made it today. Unfortunately the soya chunks turned very hard. Well, I soaked soya chunks overnight and then deep fried the marinated chunks. Kindly enlighten me abt the soya cooking process. Thank you.

Hi Aarthi,
I follow your blog for cooking various dishes. I have a doubt in this recipe. when i fried chunks in oil... all the oil was absorbed by chunks. no oil left. but in your pics..its perfectly fried. kindly help me to find where did i do mistake.
Aarthi
@lathamay be you haven't added enough cornflour or the oil is not hot enough
