Notes

  1. Add Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder to give a reddish colour to the recipe. If you want you can skip it.
  2. The Soya Chunks can either be deep fried or shallow fried.
  3. To increase the quantity of gravy, you can use more amount of slurry of Corn Flour and Water.
  4. Here we have used Gram Flour to marinate the Soyabean. You can also use Corn Flour. However Besan is healthier than Corn Flour.
  5. To prepare Chilli Soya Nuggets (Dry variant), add less amount of Corn Flour paste.
  6. To enhance the flavour of Soya Chilli, keep the Onion and Capsicum little raw while frying.
