Chilli Soya chunks | Soybean chilli recipe

Soya chunks chilli / Chili Soybean is a popular and a nutrient protein packed Indo-Chinese starter recipe, made with soya been nuggets. it is simple and easy to prepare and it can be made within minutes as compared to other Indo-Chinese street food recipes. generally, the dry variants of soybean chilli are popular, but can also be made with gravy too.

firstly, I would highly recommend to the clean and boil the soya nuggets thoroughly before using it in this recipe. some brand does mention to skip this, but I would recommend following this step anyway. secondly, In this recipe, I have deep fried the coated soya nuggets which can be easily pan-fried or shallow fried or baked for less oil consumption.
