Traditionally at home, we either make Soyabean subzi in gravy or as a filling for patties. I am not a gravy fan neither do I indulge in unhealthy eating daily. To incorporate protein-packed soya chunks in my diet, I decided to make the dry version of this subzi with roti and its delicious!
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Soya Granules
- 3/4th Cup Soya Chunks
- 2 Onions (medium-size)
