I love cooking with soya chunks, Whatever you try with this stuff it taste delicious..I don’t know about you, but I love it..I started liking it even more once I started my GM diet plan..I know I dropped it, but still I am in a strict diet plan..I am trying a lot to avoid chicken..At those times soya chunks has become my substitute for chicken..I even like to call it as vegetarian meat often…
I made this korma few months back, I had it with Beans Briyani. I love to try out different varieties of curries to have with roti or pulav.This is one of the curry which came out so good and everyone in my house loved it..I even send some korma and pulav to my fiancée and he too loved it a lot, which is quite unusual because he is not so fond of vegetarian food..But if I make, he will eat anything..HA HA..
As you can see there is a long list of ingrediants in this..But this is a perfect dish to make when you have friends coming around or having huge parties and stuff like that..Even though the recipe list looks a kind of complicated, once you start making, it will be a breeze..Hope you will enjoy this and join me again on another recipe.

Looks great, and I want to try it! Good luck with your diet. I think if you can stick with giving up chicken you will feel the health benefit. I am sure that a pure vegetarian diet is best for health.
