Mealmaker or Soya Chunks Curry For Vegan Meal Options

Let’s get one fact straight, Soya Chunks are an excellent source of protein for Vegetarians and Vegans alike. And, CHEAP! Soya Chunks Curry is probably one of the most popular recipe among Indian vegetarians who rely on Soyabean products for their protein nourishment.

Some studies explain that Soyabean exceed Milk, Eggs and surprisingly Meat as well in terms of Protein. They are an excellent source of Isoflavones, which is believed to provide protection against several diseases like Cardiovascular Diseases, Osteoporosis,

Are you wondering, how do you eat soya chunks?

I have seen many asking this on various forums. It is a popular belief that Soya Chunks or Soya Nuggets stink upon cooking. And I won’t deny that. BUT, there is a way around that as well.

Just soak the Soya nuggets in a bowl of hot water so that they get immersed completely. Leave it aside for 15-20 minutes. Then take them out and squeeze them hard so that you rinse the water completely out of them. Now they are stink-free and ready to cook.

Also, can I eat uncooked Soya chunks or are raw Soya nuggets safe?

OK, I know I said that these are plant-based. I mean they are from Soyabean, but they aren’t meant to be consumed raw. It is always advisable to cook them completely so that they do not cause digestion problems.

So, are you ready to make some Soya Chunks Masala Curry for lunch?
