Notes

  1. While preparing Soya Chilli, I have marinated Soyabean with Gram Flour (Besan). You can replace it with Corn Flour. However Besan is healthier than Corn Flour.
  2. I have used Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder to give a reddish colour to the recipe. If you want you can skip it.
  3. The Soya Chunks can either be deep fried or shallow fried. The taste will remain the same.
  4. To prepare Chilli Soya Gravy, add more amount of Corn Flour paste.
  5. Onion and Capsicum should be kept little raw while frying. It enhances the flavour of the recipe.
  6. While marinating the Soya Chunks, add Salt as required since we have already added it while soaking the Soya Chunks.
