SOYA METHI MUTTER
It's been a long time since I made a dish with Soya nuggets. I last used soya chunks years ago when my children were kids. Recently, this dish was pointed out to me by my friend Sandhya Puranik. Given below is how I adapted this from Soya Methi Mutter Sabzi in Sangeetha's blog, Spicy Treats.
Soya chunks are made from the soya bean and are by themselves relatively tasteless but when made into a dish they absorb the flavours and spices they are cooked in. They have great nutritional value and are a safe bet for people of all ages. I used the Nutrela Soya Chunks made by Ruchi Soya Industries.
Ingredients:
In a kadai, heat oil and when it gets hot add fennel and cumin seeds. When they sizzle, add the curry leaves and sliced onion.
