Soya Chunks Fry - from Raji

Hello Friends,


This is a wonderful recipe from my very good friend Raji (non-blogger). Do check out her Pappula Podi (Peanuts and Slit Chickpeas Powder) and Zucchini Chutney as well. She made this during one of our gatherings. I have been wanting to try it since then and today was the auspicious day, lol


I am sure it would come as a pleasant surprise, as, at least I had never cooked or ate soya chunks cooked in this amazing way. Thanks Raji for teaching this delicious recipe.


So, without further ado, here is the recipe.
