If you are a fan of soya chunks, then do add this to your list of recipes to try. My mom makes this dish using potatoes and I chose to use soya chunks instead. It is very easy to put together and perfect for those lazy days. Be careful with the fennel seeds as too much will not make the dish taste good.
The first time I made it, I went through the pain of breaking each soya chunk into pieces manually and it was very time-consuming. The next time I just went with soya granules and during my recent trip to India I mentioned the addition of soya chunks to my mom. She made the same using the soya chunks as is and that tasted good too. So, the choice is yours. I normally just mix this dish with rice and eat, but you can also use it as a side dish to rotis. Off to the recipe.
