Soya Chunks Potato Curry
This is a simple and curry made using soya chunks and potatoes. There is no coconut added in this, but still it turns out delicious and thick. I served it with banana chapati, which tasted yum.
Soya chunks are made from defatted soy flour, which has had the oil removed. They are byproducts of the extraction of soybean oil and have a rough texture when dry. When submerged in warm water or added to gravy, the texture quickly changes to soft and spongy. They are referred to as vegetarian meat because their nutritional profile is comparable to that of several non-vegetarian foods. Soya chunks are also very versatile and can be cooked to mimic the flavour of non-veg curries.

The taste of these soy products is quite bland without any added flavouring, though their texture is somewhat chewy, similar to meat. To make them taste great, season them with spices and herbs or serve them in a delicious sauce.
Tomatoes:
Tomato flavour is frequently described as sweet, tart, tangy, or well- balanced. Tomato flavour is also known as "classic tomato flavour old-fashioned tomato flavour in some cases. Some tomatoes are described as having a mild or bland flavour.
Green Chilli :
The green chillies in cooked or raw form give a fiery hot flavor. To reduce the fiery hot flavor the seeds and inner membranes could be removed which is effective at reducing the heat of the pod.
