Inspite the various health advantages, my loved ones isn't keen on to consume soya chunks. Aj is okay with soya chunks curry . I'm a great fan of soya chunks in kurmas. But apart from us, nobody wants it. Also they'll ask me weirdly that i'm cooking and eating soya chunks. I too rarely prepare but because Vj doesnt eat. So following a short break, I purchased this Manna soya chunks pack in Mustafa. Unlike the little soya chunks I purchase regularly, it was the medium-sized that we am handling the very first time. But after causeing this to be biryani, the end result was perfect, so I am certain I'll make use of this pack effectively. Which Biryani recipe, though I needed to follow along with a extra book’s recipe, I finished up making biryani in a manner that I learnt from the friend (sukku kuzhambu . vada curry and pattani kuzhambu fame). She makes use of this recipe to create vegetable biryani. It will likely be awesome. However I adapted this too in my convenience. Also it switched out great and excellent.

Method
- Soak basmati grain in tepid to warm water for half an hour atleast. I made use of medium-sized soya chunks (it may look like different in dimensions due to camera lens).
- Boil water with 1/4 teaspoon salt and add some soya chunks. Prepare in medium flame for ten minutes.
- Rise with cold water and squeeze it till dry and again do it again. Keep aside.
- I cut each chunk to 2, its optional. Keep the rest of the ingredients cut ready. Then following the grain is drenched for half an hour, boil 5 cups water and add grain into it.
- Allow it to boil for five minutes or until its 90% done. Add couple of mint leaves torn for this, add little salt along with a teaspoon of ghee.
- Toss and aside. Heat a little pressure oven with ghee. Temper with products given under ‘To temper’ table so as.
- Add sliced onion, fry till transparent. Add soya chunks, ginger root garlic clove paste and fry until dry for just two minutes in medium flame.
- Add tomato, salt, red chilli powder, eco-friendly chilli and turmeric. Fry until tomato plants become soft.
- Add curd, remaining mint leaves and fry for just two more minutes.
- If this becomes thick, add 1/4 cup water and produce to boil.
- Add some cooked grain and blend evenly. Flatten with back of ladle and canopy with oven lid (I actually do using the pressure valve). I'm able to keep your flame suprisingly low within my stove burner, just how much ever its can be done keep your flame low and prepare for 12 minutes. You can preserve on the dosa pan too should you cant put flame in low.
- After 12 mins, allow it to stand because it is for five minutes and open the oven, add chopped coriander leaves and blend lightly.
Notes
- Soaking grain in tepid to warm water works well for grain getting cooked fast as well as gives lengthy grains.
- I made use of India gate aged grain.
- Adding ghee, salt and mint leaves soon after draining the grain adds a plenty of flavor. So not skip it.
- Don't prepare the grain a lot of time prior to making the biryani. Make certain to make use of the grain when it's cooked. Should you keep your steamed grain for lengthy time, it is dry and become like uncooked grain.
- Don't over mix because it will break the grain grains.
- Washing and squeezing the cooked soya chunks completely, ensures to eliminate the smell.
- You can include vegetables along that as well.
Serve hot with onion raita the very best or perhaps you can include a vegetable kurma as side dish.
